Abstract
Enhanced Recovery Programs in Cancer Care: A Model for Value Based Care

With changing payment models in US health care delivery, and an overall increasing emphasis on quality improvement from patients, payers and regulatory and accreditation agencies; it is imperative that perioperative and health care delivery teams demonstrate the value that they bring to the overall patient care experience and improving health outcomes.

This desire to demonstrate value in health outcomes, and in keeping with evolving expectations; providers and health care organizations are moving away from the traditional morbidity and mortality metrics to global patient-centered outcome measures, such as patient satisfaction and experience, long-term functional recovery and minimizing preventable postoperative complications or " hospital acquired conditions".

Enhanced recovery protocols are multi-disciplinary patient care pathways that include care coordination across the continuum of surgical journey, minimizing un-necessary variations in the processes of care, and incorporating best practice recommendations for preoperative optimization, optimal intraoperative care, prevention of postoperative complications, and promotion of early functional recovery. ERAS programs have consistently shown to decrease complications, enhance outcomes and reduce cost of care delivery. 

In this new paradigm of health care delivery, ERAS protocols serve as a model for patient-centered, recovery-focused, outcome-based and efficiency-driven value based programs.
