Clínica Universidad de los Andes has, over the last couple of years, successfully implemented ERAS® in their colorectal and bariatric surgery departments. Building on these outcomes, the hospital is now further expanding the ERAS® concept.
Last month, the team began implementing ERAS® Essentials, the latest available ERAS® protocol. ERAS® Essentials is a streamlined protocol designed for application across multiple surgical types, including both elective and emergency procedures, with a limited number of compliance items. It provides a scalable approach to improving quality of care while reducing complications and cost.
The team is being trained by the official ERAS® Trainers from the ERAS® Center of Excellence Médica Uruguaya (Uruguay), including Dr. Marcelo Viola Malet, Dr. Gonzalo Solla, and Dr. Leticia Turconi.
The expansion is carried out in partnership with Medtronic Chile, with Encare supporting the implementation through dedicated training and use of the ERAS® Interactive Audit System (EIAS).
