Medical Personnel

Rapid and accurate tracking of patients at a mass casualty incident or disaster is essential. Incident and medical branch managers must uniquely identify each victim, assign a triage status, and track victims through treatment and transport - with all activities time and date stamped. This information must be available on-scene for incident management, off-scene for trauma center preparedness, and after-incident for full accountability and a chain-of-custody.

The interTRAX suite for Medical Personnel meets this challenge with a simple, automated system featuring bar-coded triage tags, handheld computers to capture data, a wireless LAN to consolidate victim data, and internet access to make incident data available to downstream facilities in order to prepare for incoming casualties. A “transport label” travels with the victim to provide survivable data and a chain-of-custody. Formerly medTRAX, interTRAX suite tracks both patients and responders at site.
