Coordinating an Enhanced Recovery Program | The RoundTable Jun 25, 2019

Show notes

How important is it to have a dedicated member of your team focused on starting, maintaining and coordinating your enhanced recovery programme?

Does an enhanced recovery programme which comes from the grassroots need support early on in the process? How do you find the right people to support you once the process has begun? Also, how do you explain that these changes will actually reduce workload?

The conversation moves into managing pain, both the reality of pain and the expectations which can, if handled correctly, help to reduce it.

Finally, what are the three key aptitudes that an enhanced recovery coordinator needs?

Presented by Desiree Chappell with Korey Springman, Anesthesiologist and Perioperative Medicine Fellow at Duke University and Vicki Morton, Director of Clinical and Quality Outcomes at Providence Anesthesiology Associates and Courtney Fossen, Manager of Surgical Services at US Anesthesia Partners (USAP).

Presented by Robin Schiller and Bridger Bach with their guest Zhaosheng Jin, Queen's hospital, Barking Havering Redbridge NHS trust, Central London School of Anaesthesia.
