Abstract
Objectives: Emergency general surgery (EGS) is a major source of morbidity and mortality in the United States. EGS patients account for 50% of surgical mortality, and care expenditures in this population are expected to exceed $40 billion by 2040. The US has no nationally recommended EGS care bundle, with highly variable outcomes between hospitals. The UK ELPQuic study used an evidence based bundle to significantly reduce mortality. We sought to implement such a bundle at an academic US healthcare system.
