ERAS® multidisciplinary teams can now leverage two tools in one (2 in 1) to improve perioperative care. This tool was created with 105 experts from 18 countries and includes ERAS® specific items as well as checklist items. It is not designed for use by all teams in all settings. It brings surgical teams together to ensure a shared understanding for the treatment of ERAS® patients.
A consensus statement, just published in JAMA Surgery, suggests that an enhanced recovery after surgery surgical safety checklist could be implemented in place of an existing surgical safety checklist, with the goal of improving adherence with the individual tools to improve outcomes.
