Successful ERAS implementation at VGH for elective colorectal and radical cystectomy
Context
You are here!
Aim
• To assess overall patient satisfaction with existing “fast-track” care pathway for gyne/onc surgery before formal ERAS implementation
Methods
• Reached out to 37 eligible patients undergoing major abdominal or laparoscopic surgery between June-August 2016 • Endometrial, ovarian, or cervical malignancies
• Maximum of 5 attempts up to 3 weeks post-D/C
Methods
• Voluntary 10 question phone survey • 7-point Likert Scale
• Additional comments

• Satisfactory scores: 1-3
Assumptions
1. Patient perspective is important
What did we ask? Satisfaction related to:
• Pain therapy - hospital & discharge
• Treatment of PONV - hospital & discharge
• Satisfaction with care (surgery & anesthesia)
• Overall quality of care
What did we ask? Did they feel able to ask questions?
Was their pre-admission clinic teaching from the nurses helpful in preparing for their surgery?
Did they feel sufficiently educated about their post-op recovery?
Assumptions
2. Prepare to be hung up on!
83.8% response rate (31/37)
(1 refusal / 3 could not contact / 2 language barriers)
Assumptions
3. Mediocre Satisfaction?

Lessons Learned
“The food was nauseating” - anonymous patient
Lessons Learned
Satisfaction is related to patient values and expectations
Additional Comments: Compassionate Care ““My anesthesiologist had a
graceful, compassionate, professional present. It made me feel like I could trust her.
She was absolutely lovely, and that kind of presence—for all of us—aids in quick recovery.”
“I feel that VGH needs to be a model for other hospitals.”
“I made a trip back to the hospital to send a thank you card to the
nurses. They are beacons of light.”
“The fishbowl near the nursing station made me feel safe. You can see
everyone interact with each other. It made me feel like I was included with
what they were doing, and I felt like they weren’t hiding anything.”
“When she said ‘I’ve read your report’, it made me feel as if she
knows me as well as I know myself. I trusted her, and this made me a kinder patient.”
Additional Comments: Patient-Centered Care
“I felt like the nurse explained nothing to me – I wanted to know what they were doing,
how they would do it.”
“I didn’t understand why some questions were being asked. I felt like my doctor should have
talked to me about some of these things.”
Additional Comments: Communication is Vital “I felt like VGH had a true sense of teamwork and
communication – I will never forget the nurses I had.”
“The pain management at home could be improved in terms of
explaining it more carefully… things like how long to take them, side
effects, and what alternatives there are.”
Lessons Learned
• Use your strengths, identify your weaknesses
• Patient’s want to be involved in their care – let them! • “It made me feel like I was included with what they were
doing”
• Everyone has an important role • “The volunteer team was essential that day in alleviating a
lot of anxiety”
• Patient as a person • “Making people feel safe aids in quick recovery”
Identified Area of Focus
Prioritize patient teaching and expectations
What biggest change has taken place?
• Patient education booklet - FAQs
- Common concerns
- Address use of analgesic agents and VTE prophylaxis
Who can they turn to after discharge? • Readmission risk
• High in person follow up (within 48hr) • Physician office, home care visit
• Moderate phone call follow up (within 48hr) • Care Management Leader (CML) on T4
• Low regular specialist appointments/blood work
Who can they turn to after discharge?
Thank you so much!
