Regionalization of emergency general surgery operations: A simulation study

CONCLUSION This simulation study provides important new insight into the concept of EGS regionalization, suggesting that 1 in 10 risk-adjusted deaths could be prevented by a structured system of EGS care. Future work should expand upon these findings using more complex discrete-event simulation models. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic/Care Management, level IV.
