Area of Science:

  • Disaster Medicine
  • Emergency Preparedness
  • Burn Care Management

Background:

  • Modern burn centers face unprecedented challenges in mass casualty incidents.
  • Limited resources and staffing necessitate innovative healthcare delivery system evaluations for disaster response.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and assess non-burn center hospital resources for short-term patient care during mass casualty events.
  • To establish a tiered system for disaster patient management and transfer.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of discharge data to identify hospitals treating burn injuries.
  • Assessment of non-burn center resources, expertise, and personnel capacities.
  • Implementation of a tiered facility designation and triage system based on patient acuity.

Main Results:

  • Seventy New Jersey hospitals identified as potential Tier Facilities for disaster response.
  • A collaborative network of 27 burn centers (Maine to DC) established for patient distribution.
  • State Medical Coordination Centers facilitate regional multi-agency response and transport.

Conclusions:

  • A proactive, collaborative approach is essential for burn centers to manage mass casualty incidents effectively.
  • Leveraging regional resources and established triage protocols ensures optimal patient care during mass casualty events.
  • Continuous exploration of resources beyond individual state and regional capabilities is crucial for maintaining high standards of burn care during disasters.
