  • Patent number: 8489419
    Abstract: Transportation mode determination in non-mass casualty triage is provided and involves receiving, from incident personnel at a casualty scene, patient screening information for a victim or victims at the casualty scene. Location screening information for the victim or victims is also established and received. Victim eligibility for Medevac transport is determined by logically factoring the patient screening information and the location screening information. The determination can be performed by computer implemented decision logic. In addition to determining eligibility of the victim or victims for Medevac transport, transportation mode determination (e.g., what type of transportation) can be established for those determined eligible, determination of whether to transport to a trauma center or care facility, determination/selection of a specific trauma center or care facility for treatment, and/or a determination of an order of treatment, or transport for treatment, for each of the victims.

  • Patent number: 7899682
    Abstract: A method and system for ordering treatment or transport of victims of a mass casualty incident, prior to the incident, by establishing simulated casualty severity scores for each of the victims and considering the casualty severity scores and simulated resource availability. The order of treatment is provided on a card, chart, table or graph. Ordering treatment occurs through an analysis of triage simulations using analytical or mathematical programming techniques considering the severity scores, time periods of treatment delay resulting from constrained resources, estimated survival probabilities, and/or deterioration rates applied to the severity scores due to treatment delay.

  • Patent number: 7761309
    Abstract: The present invention is a method and system of triage that assesses a severity score for each casualty, and determines a treatment prioritization plan to maximize the number of survivors. The present invention includes a score-based mathematical algorithm for resource-constrained triage, where an optimal number of survivors is determined through a methodology that can be mathematically modeled and solved, a methodology that considers victim survival probabilities, victim deterioration rates, and resource availability. First, each casualty is assessed and an RPM severity score is assigned based upon a sum of coded values for respiratory rate, pulse rate, and best motor response.
