Rapid Disposition & Emergency Department Flow in Mass Casualty Incidents Stanford Health Center
Oct 4, 2023 | Disaster Planning for
California Hospitals
Overview:
Overcrowding makes Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) planning
increasingly difficult for Emergency Departments. MCI plans must
incorporate tactics for rapidly and safely clearing space in EDs
to accommodate the influx of casualties. The goal of this
planning is to provide the greatest good for the greatest number
of patients, both at the hospital before the disaster and for new
casualties being received. Stanford experts will review how this
planning is designed and how it has been refined with years of
practice at their facility.
