Implementing an enhanced recovery from surgery pathway to reduce hospital length of stay for primary hip or knee arthroplasty: a budget impact analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Given growing demand for hip and knee arthroplasty and unsustainable resource requirements, safe and efficient models of care are critical. This study aims to determine the impact on healthcare costs of implementing an enhanced short-stay model of care (ESS-MOC) for arthroplasty at a national level.

Methods

A budget impact analysis was conducted for the years 2023-2030 in the setting of Australian publicly and privately funded hospitals performing hip or knee arthroplasty. The model considered population-based future arthroplasty projections, published data on healthcare costs and resource utilisation, and aggregate health insurer claims data related to minor complexity elective hip or knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. The ESS-MOC assigned a conservative hypot
