EUPEMEN: Multinational Framework for Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Protocols

The EUPEMEN project was a 26-month, prospective, multinational implementation initiative funded by the Erasmus+ Programme and involving five academic institutions across Spain, Italy, Greece, and the Czech Republic. It developed seven standardized Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols for major general surgical domains and disseminated them via a multilingual digital learning platform and train-the-trainer activities. The project engaged 366 healthcare professionals through multiplier events and achieved ERAS implementation in all partner institutions.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the structure and components of standardized Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols based on the seven developed modules.
• Studying multinational implementation strategies for clinical guidelines based on the project's train-the-trainer and multiplier event framework.
• Evaluating the use of digital learning platforms for medical education based on the described online educational modules with multimedia content.
• Researching protocol adaptation across heterogeneous healthcare systems based on the modular design approach mentioned.

Strengths

• Project involved five academic institutions across four European countries, suggesting multinational collaboration.
• Developed seven standardized Enhanced Recovery protocols covering major general surgical domains.
• Digital learning platform hosted ten educational modules and was translated into five languages.
• Multiplier events engaged 366 healthcare professionals from multidisciplinary backgrounds.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 704.9 KB PDF report; the underlying protocol data or participant-level data are not provided.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; the file contains project documentation rather than a structured data table.
• Freshness should be verified; the last update date is 2026-05-18, which is a future date.
