Full Function, Faster® is a multifactorial patient treatment pathway for total joint replacement surgery, based on the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) principles. The main key aspects of this protocol are:
The Full Function, Faster® protocol focuses on addressing the patient wellbeing at 3 levels though a standardized and optimized pathway.
Setting and meeting realistic expectations through education
Optimizing the physiological function to minimize side effects and complications
The Full Function, Faster® protocol focuses on addressing the patient wellbeing at 3 levels though a standardized and optimized pathway.
The Full Function, Faster® protocol leverages on the contribution each healthcare team member provides to optimization of patients’ outcome. The orthopedic surgeon is only one of the many faces that a patient will see during his/her joint surgery pathway. Although you, as a surgeon, will be the key player in the team, the Full Function, Faster® concept will help your entire team to maximize patient’s outcomes, by aligning and standardizing patient’s care.
