Transcript LS 3 Storyboard ERAS

20,000 Days Campaign
Storyboard
Learning Session 3
11-12 March 2013
Collaborative Name: ERAS in Orthopaedics
Aim & Charter
Aim: To increase the number of surgical patients going through the
ERAS pathway to reduce length of stay, without increasing readmissions, and improving patient satisfaction.
Description:
We expect to achieve the implementation of an ERAS program throughout
Orthopaedics. By improving protocol adherence and compliance to the
ERAS pathway, the aim is to reduce the surgical stress response and
promote faster recovery after surgery with fewer complications.

Highlights and Lowlights
-
The ERAS collaborative can now demonstrate a saving in bed days and
improved satisfaction. The aims of the project have been achieved in
Orthopaedics.
-
The collaborative team have found this to be a robust process. The analysis
of base line data showed some interesting things including where to focus
and where not to as not gains would be made. PDSA cycles to test change,
have been very useful.
-
Surgical services noe intend to spread ERAS as part of their management
against MOH targets for elective surgery. The orthopaedics ERAS
collaborative will inform this spread on what works well and how to get
results.
Achievements to date
-
We now have a change package that we believe is ready for introduction to the wider
multidisciplinary team across surgical services and this will be done through an
intensive workshop to standardize and agree on the protocol
-
All the multidisciplinary groups have been working well and independently within their
work streams and reporting back regularly on their achievements and learnings
-
We have learned from a patient satisfaction audit that we could be more consistent,
that the information we provide could be more comprehensive, but that overall
patients were well supported, and had a positive experience with their joint
replacement surgery. The ERAS protocol is well placed to enhance the areas for
improvement and consolidate the areas we are doing well in.
