Expression of Interest

Enhanced Recovery Canada has developed evidence based clinical pathways based on an international program called Enhanced Recovery After Surgery; surgical best practices known to help patients receive optimal care. Enhanced Recovery Canada has the potential to make a significant impact in surgical safety and ensure that patients receive the right care at the right time.

Participating teams will:

  • Learn to apply the Enhanced Recovery Canada evidence-based principles to develop a more comprehensive approach to patient safety.
  • Work with faculty and coaches to successfully implement ERC principles for colorectal surgeries.
  • Share learning and network with colleagues across Canada.
  • Access, share and adapt advanced patient safety knowledge, tools, and resources within a learning network.
  • Improve your team's approach to patient safety while taking action to deliver safer care.
