Enhanced recovery pathways completely optimize the patient journey including before (pre-habilitation to prepare for surgery), during hospitalization, and after surgery (rehabilitation for a full recovery). Developed first at the MGH-MUHC in a transformative interdisciplinary program called Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS), these pathways are now being implemented in more than 80 hospitals across the province for colorectal and gynecological cancer surgery, with other cancer surgeries to follow. Enhanced recovery pathways improve patient outcomes and patient satisfaction while reducing costs for the healthcare system.
