The ERAS program

ERAS stands for Enhanced Recovery After Surgery. The ERAS program is a multimodal care pathway designed to accelerate recovery. In addition to returning patients to their normal health quickly, ERAS programs can reduce the amount of pain experienced post-operatively, help prevent surgical site infections and reduce the risk of complications.

Patients undergoing a hysterectomy, hip or knee replacement or colorectal surgery at UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital will be offered to be a part of our ERAS program.

Patients will receive education from the surgeon and the pre-admission clinic on the ERAS program and the specific pathway for their surgery. These instructions will include information on nourishment before and after surgery, early mobility and pain management.

Your appointment

If your doctor has referred you for surgery or a procedure at UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital, your doctor’s office will typically schedule a pre-admission appointment for you. To provide you with the highest quality in health care, we require all patients undergoing elective procedures with anesthesia to be screened in our pre-admission clinic. This is to prevent any delays or cancellations on the day of surgery and to identify and provide optimization of your health prior to your procedure.

Call 720.718.1408 to schedule your pre-admission appointment if your doctor’s office has not done so already.

During this appointment:

  • A registered nurse will review your health history, medication and any other pertinent information related to your upcoming procedure.
  • The nurse will provide education on when to stop eating and drinking, medications, required pre-op showering and specific instructions based on your health history and procedure.
  • Any lab work or testing may be completed at this appointment.
