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.

We sought to implement such a bundle at an academic US healthcare system.
