Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways can improve patient recovery after colorectal cancer surgery. However, there are a range of barriers which limit adherence to ERAS pathways. We will test the effectiveness of an interactive web-based program in improving patient quality of life and increasing days alive and out of hospital following surgery. The program has significant potential to improve quality of life for patients and to reduce health care costs.
