This project represents the ever-changing methods surrounding Enhanced Recovery after Surgery and the protocols that compose it. The purpose of this study is to expand education of ERAS guidelines and improve patient outcomes through furthering staff education. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery has been a part of perioperative departments worldwide after being introduced in the 1990s by Northern European general surgeons and has been adapted and modified since its introduction (ERAS Society History, 2022). The preoperative and postoperative process is ever-changing and is difficult for staff to keep up with. Many staff members find it difficult to stay on top of the most recent protocols. From clerical staff to nurses to surgeons there is a breakdown in the process of ensuring patients receive the optimal benefits if ERAS. This presentation will serve to both educate viewers on the latest ERAS recommendations as well as help develop and define a workflow for ensuring staff members have the most updated guidelines available to streamline the process and provide the best recovery experience for patients.
