Case Study: Danderyds Sjukhus achieves 30–40% fewer surgical complications and shorter hospital stays with Qlik

Danderyd Hospital Improves Its Surgery Outcomes with Advanced Analysis and Follow-Up

Danderyd Hospital in Stockholm, one of Sweden’s largest acute hospitals, aimed to shorten inpatient stays, improve quality of care and reduce surgical complications in its bowel surgery unit. Maintaining consistent adherence to the evidence-based ERAS protocol proved difficult when managed manually, so the team needed a more robust way to monitor and improve practice.

They implemented the ERAS Care System from Encare with QlikView analytics developed by Climber, enabling comprehensive data capture, analysis and follow‑up across the care pathway. The unit now achieves 75–80% ERAS compliance, delivering 30–40% fewer complications, shorter hospital stays (up to three days for some patients), better resource use, lower costs and easier reporting and benchmarking with other hospitals.
