Emergency and Disaster Medicine in the Maryland System

The purpose of this presentation is to provide an insight of how different health care facilities work, in conjunction with each other, to give efficient and appropriate care during emergency or disaster situations. In any disaster situation, whether natural, chemical, or social/civil unrest, it is essential that appropriate medical facilities function at their maximum capacity. Triage, started immediately by the field personnel, extends into the hospital and health care facilities in the surrounding areas of the disaster. Through a network of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) personnel and hospital organizations, appropriate facilities are readily available at any time. The Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems (MIEMSS) functions as a control center for the Maryland EMS system. Education and field training for emergency medical personnel, transportation and communication facilities, and improving treatment techniques, are managed by the MIEMSS-EMS coordinators. The hospital network in Maryland consists of multiple specialty referral centers. In the event of mass casualties, plans are designed to deliver an organized approach in total health care support to victims and communities.
