Abstract
: At our institution, we recognized a need for a standardized, efficient approach to safely evaluate, prepare, and transport patients in need of emergent surgery. With the establishment of an Emergency Surgery Transport and Assessment Team, we were able to substantially reduce our median transport time to the OR. We believe other institutions can establish an efficient team using existing resources to expedite care of the emergent surgical patient.
