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 seven standardized Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols for major general surgical domains. The project involved five academic institutions across Spain, Italy, Greece, and the Czech Republic, creating a digital learning platform with ten educational modules and training ten trainers. The framework includes multilingual materials and was implemented across all partner institutions.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the structure and components of standardized Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols based on the description of seven procedure-specific modules.
• Studying multinational implementation strategies for clinical guidelines based on the described train-the-trainer methodology and multiplier events.
• Evaluating educational frameworks for healthcare professionals based on the described digital learning platform with multimedia content and assessment tools.
• Researching protocol adaptation across heterogeneous healthcare systems based on the modular design approach mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Project involved 366 healthcare professionals from multidisciplinary backgrounds across five multiplier events.
• Materials were translated into five languages to enhance accessibility and international dissemination.
• Seven standardized Enhanced Recovery protocols covering major general surgical domains were developed.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
• The dataset is a 520.5 KB PDF document, which is a tiny dataset with limited scope for direct computational analysis.
