ForwardEvidence-based Clinical Care: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Cesarean Section Protocol
The Evidence-Based Clinical Care initiatives provide the structure and guidance for Baptist Health South Florida in the design, adoption and implementation of relevant and up-to-date, synthesized, research-based clinical pathways and protocols that can be measured in real time across the entire patient episode of care, in order to eliminate clinical variation, improve patient safety and reduce cost. Clinical pathways are continually updated and adjusted.
This course will provide the healthcare team an introduction to the Baptist Health ERAS Cesarean section protocol – an evidence-based and multidisciplinary perioperative pathway – to achieve early recovery, reduce length of stay (LOS), and reduce opioid use and morbidities associated with Cesarean section.
Note to Physicians: Be sure to bookmark this course to access all protocols, pathways, policies and procedures at your convenience via your CME Portal account. All power plans are available in Cerner. All EBCC deliverables will be available on the EBCC website.
