Role-tailored software systems for coordinating care at disaster sites: enhancing collaboration between the base hospitals with the field.
The WIISARD disaster response patient tracking program that allows for improved process flow, communication, and patient care using sophisticated wireless technology to coordinate and enhance the care of mass casualties in terrorist attacks or natural disasters. The MICN device has been developed as the link between the Base Station Mobile Intensive Care Nurse and Incident Command in the field. This tool allows the MICN coordinating the incident from the hospital side to more effectively and efficiently communicate with the Incident Command for the accurate and rapid distribution of patients from the scene to the hospitals.
