Abstract

Hospital management plays a crucial role in ensuring the effective and efficient administration of healthcare services. With the rising number of Caesarean Section (C-section) cases using both the ERACS and non-ERACS methods, hospitals need to manage these procedures efficiently through cost-effectiveness evaluations, enabling better decision-making in operational and resource management. This study aims to evaluate the cost effectiveness of ERACS techniques compared to non-ERACS methods in Sidowaras Hospital through interviews and documentation of medical records. The participants were pregnant women who gave birth by caesarean section at Sidowaras Hospital. The results showed that the ERACS method significantly reduced the cost of caesarean section compared to non-ERACS methods, with an average difference in total cost of 4.74%. The ERACS method provides these savings through reduced duration of hospitalization, efficient use of medications, and a more structured approach to postoperative care. In addition, patients who underwent caesarean section using the ERACS method experienced shorter hospitalizations and less postoperative pain compared to those using the non-ERACS method. The managerial implication of this discovery is that hospitals can improve operational efficiency and quality of care by adopting the ERACS method, which can reduce operational costs while improving patient satisfaction and care effectiveness.
