Hospital disaster plans<br />
• Overcrowding of the nearest facility<br />
by spontaneous uncontrolled flights<br />
• Hospital admission capacity :<br />
- different from the number of beds that<br />
can be made available<br />
- the actual bottleneck is the ER and its<br />
capacity to recruit medical teams<br />
• Efficient use of resources :<br />
– appropriate distribution of the casualties from the scene<br />
– only skilled personnel in the ER
