Comment on How one ED mobilized his department during a mass casualty incident (2017)parent

Comments

Can't say for Las Vegas, but we do here (in Belgium). There's a dedicated responsibility during mass casualties to distribute leaving ambulances over hospitals, also taking into account hospital specialties and facilities, such as a burn unit. The closest hospital is usually skipped because victims who self-transport will usually go there.

This is common in the US, and I would assume in every other modern healthcare system.
