What is Enhanced Recovery After Surgery?

Enhanced Recovery Canada is a project of the Canadian Patient Safety Institute leading the drive to improve surgical safety across the country and is based on Enhanced Recovery After Surgery – ERAS surgical best practices.

These evidence-based principles support better outcomes for surgical patients including: an improved patient experience, reduced length of stay, decreased complication rates and fewer hospital readmissions.

                    In partnership with:

• Patient and family engagement
  
• Nutrition management
  
• Perioperative fluid and hydration management
• Multi-modal opioid sparing analgesia
• Perioperative best practices
• Mobilization
