EUPEMEN: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocols and Implementation Framework

A 26-month multinational initiative funded by the Erasmus+ Programme, the EUPEMEN project developed and disseminated standardized Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols. The project involved five academic institutions across Spain, Italy, Greece, and the Czech Republic, creating seven procedure-specific modules and a digital learning platform. Authored by Orestis Ioannidis, the project documentation was last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Training healthcare professionals on ERAS protocols based on the described digital learning platform and educational modules.
• Analyzing the implementation of standardized surgical recovery pathways based on the multinational framework.
• Developing multilingual medical education materials based on the project's translation of protocols into five languages.
• Evaluating train-the-trainer methodologies for protocol dissemination based on the described Learning Teaching Activity.

Strengths

• Project involved five academic institutions across four European countries, suggesting a multinational scope.
• Seven standardized Enhanced Recovery protocols were developed covering major general surgical domains.
• A digital learning platform was created hosting ten educational modules with multimedia content.
• Five multiplier events engaged 366 healthcare professionals from multidisciplinary backgrounds.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 266.0 KB PDF document, which is a small-scale report rather than a primary data collection.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; the file contains project documentation, not structured data.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-05-18).
