Leading Swedish University Hospital and Encare Expand ERAS Project to Improve Urological Care
Swedish HealthTech company Encare is taking further steps in its work with ERAS® (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) to support healthcare providers in optimizing care processes and enhancing the patient experience. Karolinska University Hospital is expanding its ERAS® project in collaboration with Encare to include urology, reflecting its ongoing commitment to enhancing care quality and enabling faster, evidence-based recovery for patients undergoing surgery.
This development enables more clinical teams at Karolinska University Hospital, supported by Encare’s digital platform EIAS (ERAS® Interactive Audit System), to systematically monitor and analyze treatment outcomes. EIAS equips clinical teams with detailed insights into surgical processes and adherence to evidence-based protocols, enabling data-driven improvements and fostering optimal patient outcomes.
“This expansion demonstrates Karolinska University Hospital’s dedication to advancing evidence-based, patient-centered care,” says Rasmus Waller, CEO of Encare. “We’re proud to contribute with EIAS, empowering clinical teams to deliver even better outcomes and patient experiences. This aligns perfectly with our vision of driving progress in evidence-based care.”
Building on its successful implementation of ERAS® protocols in other surgical specialties, Karolinska University Hospital is now integrating these practices into urology, reinforcing its position as a leader in European healthcare innovation.
