A care pathway implemented at Vanderbilt University Medical Center has optimized patient recovery following surgery for soft tissue sarcoma, leading to reductions in length of stay and complications.
The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols implemented since 2014 have been associated with reductions of 20-30 percent in both length of hospital stay and complications, and Vanderbilt has been one of the key institutions to evaluate its clinical merit.
Great sarcoma care starts with a great team of clinicians. The team at Vanderbilt works seamlessly across specialties as one to create a care plan that is personalized to each patient.
