Shartar, S., Moore, B., and Wood, L. (2017). Developing a Mass Casualty Surge Capacity Protocol for Emergency Medical Services to Use for Patient Distribution. (Abstract only.) Southern Medical Journal. 110(12):792-795.
The authors developed a prepopulated tool based on research, hospital capacities, and resource availability for emergency medical services providers “to distribute higher-acuity casualties to trauma centers and lower-acuity casualties to non-trauma hospitals.” They note that the tool was tested and validated in a series of tabletop and functional drills.
