Enhanced Recovery Partnership
• Back ground Hospital• Local population• How we started and how we
carried on• Our Results in view of the
most recent literature
Enhanced Recovery Partnership
• North East London • Covering Waltham Forest and
Redbridge PCT • Population 350,000• Built 1900• 700 Beds
Socially Deprivated Area
• Market Factor• High % advanced stage cancer• Cancer Survival compared to national
average
Income deprivation by London borough
More than 20%
employees are
paid less than
£7.50 per hour
• Social deprivation is an independent risk factor for increased postoperative hospital
stay for colorectal patients.

How we started ERP
Shifting Mentality• Danish surgeon: Henrik Kehlet
Q: Why is the patient still in hospital?Q: What can be done to safely
discharge him?
• within my team– Reg, SHO, FY1– CNS– Stoma Nurse
• Looking for motivated people– Ward– Theatre– Anesthetic department– Dietitian– ………..
Success Factor = Cultural Shift
• Funding• St Mark’s ERP course
> 60 people attended• Anesthetists• Ward nurses• Theatre Nurses• Physiotherapists• CNS• Stoma nurses• ODA• Dietitians
Steering Group Established
• Representative from each single specialties involved
• Creation Pathway for each specialty
• Specialty LEAD responsible to produce their pt care pathway
• Creation multispecialty pathway
• Appointment project manager• Meetings: Once a month• Baseline Study: Retrospective review
using HES• Support from NHS improvement team• Pilot site for ERP

Prospective Audit
• How much are we implementing ERP?• All colorectal cancer 1st January – 31st
June, 2010– 1st Audit Jan- March– 2nd Audit April-June
• Total number of patient = 38• Number of patients included in ERP Audit
= 29
• Easy to collect data• Prospective data

Since 2008, the LoS
stay has been reduced from an average of 11.6 days to 7.1 days.

Factors essential for Successful
Implementation ERP
Strong leadership with motivationCore group Project Manager
What about sustain these results?
Implementation and sustainability
• Education• Management of Expectation• Reinforce of ERP concept and practice• Empowering nurses• ERP Nurse
– Keep the things going– Educate– Audit results

Adherence to ERP protocol
• Prospective cohort study before and after ERP protocol
• 953 patients with colorectal cancer: – 2002‐2004 Adherence 43.3% in 464 patients – 2005‐2007 Adherence 70.6% in 489 Patients– Postoperative complications and symptoms declined significantly.
• 30‐day morbidity and readmissions were significantly reduced with

Laparoscopy in Combination with Fast Track Multimodal Management is the Best Perioperative Strategy in Patients Undergoing Colonic Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial (LAFA-study).

• Multicenter
RCT
• 9 centers in the Netherlands
• 400 patients eligible for segmental colectomy were randomized to:
‐
laparoscopic or open colectomy
‐
ERP or standard care

Results
Lap/FT Open/FT Lap/standard Open/standard
• Postop
LOS Median 5 6 6 7 days
• Laparoscopy was the only independent predictive factor to reduce hospital stay and morbidity:
Author’s conclusion: “Optimal perioperative treatment for
colonic cancer is laparoscopic resection embedded in a FT program. If open surgery is applied, it is preferentially done in FT care”

Cochrane
• Quantity and quality of data are low• ERP seems safe
• Lack of sufficient outcome parameters and poor quality
of trials do not justify
implementation of ERP as the standard of care
• Role of laparoscopy not clarified• Protocol compliance
not investigated
• 12 Spanish hospitals• 300
patients with elective colorectal surgery for cancer

Conclusions
• Sustain
ERP is more challanging than its implementation
• Creation of a single document: paper pathway
• ERP Nurse is essential and it pays in the long run
