What are the basic requirements of the National Mass Patient and Evacuee Movement, Regulating, and Tracking System? Are you taking suggestions?
Christy Music: We certainly are taking suggestions. The basic proposal has a very small number of demographic data that would be collected: a unique identifier, such as a unique number, and if available, name, gender, and date of birth. A person’s special needs could be included in the system, such as equipment they have with them (e.g., wheelchair), or medication they need but don’t have when being evacuated. The System could be enhanced with medical information through an electronic medical record format that could inform receiving health care providers about the patient being transported to them for care. The regulating and movement functions would help ensure appropriate transportation resources are available, and that appropriate and available receiving locations for general population evacuees and patients are reserved. These functions will also deconflict reservations from two or more responding agencies, counting on using the same hospital (bed) for different patients, for exam
