# ACS Roles & Responsibilities (2025-2026)
**Acute Care Surgery - Roles and Responsibilities**
**2025-2026**
**Purpose**: The purpose of this document is to outline the roles and responsibilities for each team member providing patient care on the Acute Care Surgery service in order to provide coordinated and timely care. This document serves as a guideline that can and should be adjusted according to the needs of the patient and the needs of other patients requiring concurrent care.
**Guiding Principles**
- **Teamwork**: Acute Care Surgery includes multiple service lines, each unique to their patient population and staff coverage. In addition, we are one team with one mission- to offer the highest level of care to our patients. We will support each other in any way needed to achieve our mission.
- **Communication**: Caring for acutely injured and ill patients requires clear, closed loop communication delivered in a respectful and professional manner.
- **Leadership**: Acute Care Surgery is present in all arenas of Nebraska Medicine- including the ER, OR, floor, ICU and clinic. Given our large footprint, all members of the Acute Care Surgery team must act as leaders and a resource to any person or patient at Nebraska Medicine who asks for our help or input.
