Toward a learning system for ERAS: Embedding implementation and learning evaluation (2020)

Summary

This article, published in the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery e-book, explores the multimodal approach to improve overall patient recovery after surgery. The idea of implementing specific interventions throughout the perioperative period to improve patient recovery has been proven to be beneficial. Whereas many approaches to enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) implementation may seem straightforward, careful advanced planning, multiple stakeholder involvement, and addressing other contextual constraints are needed if there is to be improvement.
