Dr. Warta’s Leadership College Project Abstract: Minimally invasive hysterectomy (MIH) can be performed safely and effectively on an outpatient basis. However, same day discharge (SDD) is not a universal standard, and many hospitals are still admitting uncomplicated patients overnight for this procedure. The purpose of this project is to create and enact same day discharge protocol for MIH at New Hanover Regional Medical Center (NHRMC).
