Enhancing Recovery After Surgery: Better Teamwork for Better Outcomes 2017

Phoenix, AZ US
February 3, 2017 to February 4, 2017

Course Director: Tonia M. Young-Fadok, M.D.

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary, multi-modal approach to perioperative care. The best of evidence-based medicine is employed to optimize the patient’s post-op course promoting early recovery while post-op complications and costs are reduced. This proactive approach is comprised of data-driven, proven interventions: “Post-op recovery starts in pre-op.”

  • Enhanced recovery starts with clearly defined preoperative preparation that involves the spectrum of health care team members, including the patient.
  • Intraoperative approaches have the entire scope of the patient’s care in mind including post-op recovery – multimodality pain control, pre-emption of nausea, and fluid management to minimize post-op ileus.
  • Post-op order sets and team care optimize patient recovery, convey the experience of accumulated knowledge and minimize complications and hospital stay.

We will provide evidence-based best practices from foremost international leaders. Discussion panels will allow attendees to directly question experts and then return to their institutions with an implementation plan.

In collaboration with: ERAS USA and ERAS Society

Target Audience

Enhanced recovery is a team sport. It is exceedingly difficult to institute new practices without a team. Consider attending as a real team: surgeon (from any abdominal specialty – general, colorectal, GYN, urology, hepatobiliary), anesthesiologist, nurse caring for patient, and administrator. Any health care professional involved in the patient’s perioperative course will gain new perspective and incentive to do better from this course.

Learning Objectives

Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to:

Surgeons:

  • Recognize the science and evidence supporting best practices in Enhanced Recovery to optimize their patient outcomes.

Anesthesiologists and CRNAs:

  • Develop an improved understanding of how intraoperative interventions re: fluids, PONV prophylaxis, pain management, etc., can continue to affect patient outcomes in the post-operative period.

Nurses: 

  • Interpret the science and evidence behind ERAS protocol recommendations and ERAS protocol compliance.

Hospital Administrators:

  • Recognize their role in facilitating the logistics of bringing together multidisciplinary teams that will improve patient outcomes and reduce costs.

Attendance at this Mayo course does not indicate nor guarantee competence or proficiency in the performance of any procedures which may be discussed or taught in this course.
