Mass-Casualty Exercise/Real World Analysis

This in-depth mass-casualty exercise was created by Earl Williams, safety coordinator at BroMenn Healthcare in Illinois, to help track and improve performance. It is broken into categories for victim management, victim transport, incident communication, incident command, incident support, and drill planning. Areas are left blank so supervisors may include their own observations that could be incorporated into future versions of the survey. Once scores are totaled, Williams has a better grasp of performance as well as the quality of the drill and whether it needs to be refined.
