Adherence to 20 emergency general surgery best practices: results of a national survey.
The authors used a hybrid questionnaire to examine national adherence to emergency general surgery (EGS) best practices. They found that there was substantial room for performance improvement, and that adopting an acute care surgery model predicts better performance. They conclude that this novel overview of adherence to EGS best practices will enable surgeons and policymakers to address variations in EGS care nationally.
