How is hospital surge integral to IPTI?
Hospital surge goes hand-in-hand with managing an emergency event with multiple casualties. Patients must be transported where there is room to house them and appropriate personnel, equipment and supplies to care for them. COMCARE has worked closely with OASIS on the approval of the HAVE draft standard so that this information can be incorporated into an IPTI solution.
