The abstract entitled “How the Implementation of an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol Can Improve Patient Outcomes” has been selected for the 2015 SCR Abstract Competition at the upcoming American College of Surgeons (ACS) national conference in July in Chicago. This is a highly distinguished prize awarded by the ACS National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) 2015 Congress organizers for data from our ERAS in Colon Surgery that our general surgical team (see abstract ) ) initiated here at VGH.
