C. Lower length of stay– Enhanced Discharge Program

E. Help patients recover faster– Enhanced Recovery Program

Surgeon/Trainee Issues
• Single largest impediment to LOS reduction is unwillingness to advance diet– Eliminate from ordersets and vocabulary
• Sips of Clears
• ADAT
• Full Liquid Diet
– POD0-1 Clears ad lib
– POD2 Regular or ADA Diet
• Second largest impediment to LOS is excessive fluid administration post op– SL at 600 mL PO intake
– UO 50cc/2 hrs acceptable

MIS
• Preop
– (Limited bowel prep)
• Intraop
– Antiemetics
– Small Incisions
– Local Analgesia
• Postop
– Minimized Tubes and Drains
– Early Feeding
– Early Mobilization
MIS + ER
• Preop– Education
– Prehabilitation
– Premedication
– Diet
• Intraop– Steroids
– PROMPT Anesthesia
– Regional Blocks
– Fluid Limitation
• Postop– Non-Narcotic Analgesia

Communication Keys• Long before the case
– Premeds
– Regional blocks
– Fluids
– Narcotics
• Night before case– Next day’s plan
• After the case– Share successes
• If the metric of success is patient recovery and surgeons never show anesthesiology providers an early recovered patient they should not expect buy-in

• Patients are moving too fast– Diet intolerance

• Severe pain (8-10) (low dose dilaudid and call)

Team members don’t buy-in to the
