EUPEMEN: Multinational Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Implementation Framework

A 26-month prospective multinational initiative funded by the Erasmus+ Programme, conducted by five academic institutions across Spain, Italy, Greece, and the Czech Republic. The EUPEMEN project developed and disseminated seven standardized Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols and a digital learning platform with ten educational modules. The dataset, authored by Orestis Ioannidis and last updated in May 2026, documents the project's structure, implementation strategy, and early outcomes.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking Enhanced Recovery After Surgery implementation strategies based on the described multinational framework.
• Developing educational modules for perioperative care based on the project's train-the-trainer methodology.
• Analyzing protocol adherence monitoring elements incorporated into the project's implementation.
• Studying the adaptation of medical protocols across heterogeneous healthcare systems as described in the project's modular design.

Strengths

• Project involved five academic institutions across four European countries, suggesting multinational scope.
• Seven standardized Enhanced Recovery protocols were developed covering major general surgical domains.
• A digital learning platform hosted ten educational modules with multimedia content and assessment tools.
• Project materials were translated into five languages to enhance accessibility.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 2.6 MB PDF document; the underlying structured data (e.g., participation metrics, protocol details) is not directly available in a machine-readable format.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; data extraction requires parsing the PDF report.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
