Task 1 C361
Western Governor’s University
Why do hospitals strive to reduce the average length of stay of their patients? Reducing
hospital length of stay not only improves financial, operational, and clinical outcomes by
decreasing costs to the patient but also minimizes the risk of patients developing hospital-
acquired complications. Providing more efficient and cost-effective quality care can both benefit
the hospital institution and patient in the long term.
Impact on the patient
Decreasing hospital acquired complication is one way to provide efficient and cost-
effective care and is directly linked to hospital length of stay. Decreasing the length of stay
directly affected the risk of patient’s morbidity and risk of developing complications.
Impact on Organization
When patients develop complications, it directly impacts the hospital’s operating
margins, patient satisfaction, safety and patient flow and bed utilization. Medical, Medicaid and
private insurance are also more reluctant to play or reimburse after a hospital acquired
complication.
Identify the PICO
Patient population – We are focusing on a study of patient undergoing gynecological surgery.
Intervention- Effects of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) on length of stay,
pain management and complication rate.
, Comparison- Regular protocol for patient undergoing gynecological surgery.
Outcome- Decrease hospital length of stay, pain and complication.
Evidence Based Practice Question
When implemented, does the (I) Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol (O)
impact the length of stay, pain management and decrease the instance of complication of (P)
patients undergoing gynecological surgery compare to when it is not (C)?
