EUPEMEN: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocols and Implementation Framework

The EUPEMEN project developed a multinational framework for implementing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols across European surgical centers. Seven standardized procedure-specific protocols were created, translated into five languages, and disseminated via a digital learning platform and train-the-trainer activities. The project was funded by the Erasmus+ Programme and conducted over 26 months by five academic institutions in Spain, Italy, Greece, and the Czech Republic.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the structure and content of standardized Enhanced Recovery protocols based on the description of seven procedure-specific modules.
• Studying multinational implementation strategies for clinical guidelines based on the train-the-trainer methodology and multiplier events.
• Evaluating the use of digital platforms for medical education based on the description of the online educational platform with multimedia content.
• Researching the harmonization of clinical practices across different healthcare systems based on the project's multilingual and education-centered approach.

Strengths

• Seven standardized Enhanced Recovery protocols covering major general surgical domains were developed.
• Project materials were translated into five languages to enhance accessibility.
• A digital learning platform hosted ten educational modules with multimedia content and assessment tools.
• Five multiplier events engaged 366 healthcare professionals from multidisciplinary backgrounds.

Limitations

• The dataset is a PDF document; the underlying data for the protocols, participation metrics, or clinical outcomes is not directly accessible.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred from the document text.
• The description focuses on the project framework and outcomes; the granular data collected during implementation is not described.
