description | **Background:** Innovative methodologies to redesign care delivery are being applied to increase value in health care, including the creation of enhanced recovery pathways (ERPs) for surgical patients. However, there is a lack of standardized methods to evaluate ERP implementation costs.
**Objectives:** This Recommendations Statement aims to introduce a standardized framework to guide the economic evaluation of ERP care-design initiatives, using the Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC) methodology.
**Methods:** We provide recommendations on using the proposed framework to support the decision-making processes that incorporate ERPs. Since ERPs are usually composed of activities distributed throughout the patient care pathway, the framework can demonstrate how the TDABC may be a valuable method to evaluate the incremental costs of protocol implementation. Our recommendations are based on the review of available literature and expert opinions of the members of the TDABC in Healthcare Consortium.
**Results:** The ERP framework, composed of 11 steps, was created describing how the techniques and methods can be applied to evaluate the economic impact of an ERP and guide health-care leaders to optimize the decision-making process of incorporating ERPs into health-care settings. Finally, six recommendations are introduced to demonstrate that using the suggested framework could increase value in ERP care-design initiatives by reducing variability in care delivery, educating multidisciplinary teams about value in health, and increasing transparency when managing surgical pathways.
**Conclusions:** Our proposed standardized framework can guide decisions and support measuring improvements in value achieved by incorporating the perioperative redesign protocols. |
