Objectives

1.The simulation starts with a news video reporting a natural disaster, hurricane, tornado, eruption, flood, or earthquake in an area of the US.
2. The Triage specialists computer interface will open up at the disaster site where they will begin to triage patients, and treat and prepare them for transportation to the ER. Once treated the patient will move to the DAC specialist interface.
3.The DAC (Disaster Area Coordinator) specialist will, based on the triage wristband color, decide what mode of transportation will take the patient to the ER. They will also compile a public health report and a wall chart of patients injured in the disaster.
4.Once the patient arrives at the ER, the ER specialists will confirm a diagnosis by ordering test and will treat the patients injuries accordingly. The patient will then be admitted to hospital for further care or discharged.
5. ER specialist will report live to the Chief Medical Officer, for confirmation of the correct diagnosis.
6. Post brief, all specialist will de-brief with the CMO
