The acute surgical unit (ASU) model has successfully met the aims for emergency general surgery (EGS) in Australia and New Zealand. General Surgeons Australia's 12-point plan is a relevant framework with strong supporting evidence for ASUs.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Practice
  • Health Systems Management

Background:

  • Emergency general surgery (EGS) in Australia and New Zealand has shifted from on-call to acute surgical unit (ASU) models.
  • General Surgeons Australia developed a 12-point plan to guide EGS, serving as a benchmark for ASUs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the relevance of the 12-point plan to the ASU model.
  • To assess the evidence supporting the 12-point plan framework for EGS.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive review of literature.
  • Analysis of the 12-point plan's application in the ASU model.

Main Results:

  • The ASU model aligns with the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons' objectives for EGS.
  • The 12-point plan is pertinent to the ASU model and is well-supported by existing evidence.

Conclusions:

  • The implementation of the ASU model has achieved the intended goals for EGS.
  • The 12-point plan provides a robust and evidence-based framework for effective ASUs.
