The ERAS® Society has growing activities in the USA. Following the 3rd World Congress for the ERAS® Society in Washington DC in May of this year, we are now happy to announce the first ERAS® Society Implementation program just started in collaboration with the CtSQC in the state of Connecticut. The first of a series of ERAS Implementation program involves four hospitals in Connecticut: St Francis Hospital, Norwalk Hospital, Lawrence & Memorial hospital and Middlesex hospital.
The implementation program will continue in a few phases where most of the hospitals involved in major surgery will be trained using the ERAS® Society Implementation program.
