Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) standardizes care before, during and after surgery. ERAS helps patients get back on their feet quicker while shortening hospital stays and reducing surgical complications. The implementation of ERAS in Alberta is sponsored by the Surgery Strategic Clinical Network (Surgery SCN™).
Each year, more than 280,000 surgeries are performed across Alberta at 55 surgical sites. The Surgery SCN is dedicated to making surgical care in our province efficient and sustainable.
Drawing from best practices and evidence from around the world, ERAS improves patient care related to nutrition, mobility after surgery, fluid management, anesthesia and pain control. ERAS also makes patients part of the team by involving them in preparation for their surgery and post-operative recovery. It aims to help patients stay strong, improve outcomes, reduce complications and create a better patient experience.
