About The Customer
Danderyd Hospital is one of Sweden’s largest acute hospitals and northern Europe’s biggest maternity hospital. It has around 530 beds and its primary focus is specialist care for internal medicine, cardiology, orthopedics, obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, and urology. The hospital employs around 3,300 people. The hospital was seeking ways to improve the quality of their bowel surgery work, reduce the number of complications, and shorten in-patient hospital stays.
The Challenge
Danderyd Hospital in Stockholm was seeking ways to improve the quality of their bowel surgery work. They had been manually working with the ERAS protocol since 2000, which initially performed well, but due to difficulty in seeing any change in the work, they soon fell back into old routines. The hospital needed a system that could help them maintain high compliance with the ERAS protocol and easily generate reports to show what areas of the care system are working well and where improvement is needed.
The Solution
Danderyd Hospital implemented the ERAS Care System from Encare, with QlikTech’s business discovery platform QlikView providing the analysis engine. The ERAS Care System comprises two parts—the protocol itself, called Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS), and the ERAS Interactive Audit System. The latter is a web-based tool for recording data, analysis, and follow up. QlikView is user friendly and available at all times. The work has been characterized by close dialogue between Climber, Encare, and the doctors involved in the ERAS Group.
Operational Impact
  • The ERAS Care System was introduced at the same time as the unit was making advances in the area of keyhole surgery and this has resulted in fewer complications and shorter hospital stays.
  • With the ERAS Care System, Danderyd Hospital can now be compared with other hospitals that use the same system.
  • There are around 30 international hospitals that use ERAS for the same type of surgery as Hjern and his colleagues—and the number of hospitals signing up is growing fast.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Achieved 75 to 80 percent compliance with the ERAS protocol
  • Resulted in 30 to 40 percent fewer complications
  • Lowered care costs
