This is a Minimally Invasive Bariatric and General Surgery (MIBGS) division project focusing on preventable readmissions, especially admissions from the emergency department for intolerance to food and liquids and dehydration. A Power Plan was developed based on a similar project for OB patients experiencing hyperemesis. The goal is to attempt adequate hydration, nausea and pain treatment, and diagnostic evaluation in the ER before considering admission.
