Achieving shorter hospital stays involves a multidisciplinary approach. This includes advancements in surgical techniques, such as minimally invasive surgery, which can reduce recovery time. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols also play a crucial role by optimizing preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care to facilitate quicker recovery. Furthermore, the integration of outpatient care and home-based support services can help manage certain treatments and follow-ups outside the hospital setting.
