"The challenge...is to develop requirements for systems that are used to improve everyday emergency response, but can easily be scaled up to support mass casualty incidents."

Dr. Robert Bass, COMCARE board member and president of the National Association of State EMS Director

PhaseI

Summit In Phase I, the working groups participated in facilitated workshops where participants walked through a number of scenarios to define current and future processes used when treating patients during a variety of emergency events, from mass casualty incidents (MCIs) to everyday emergencies. After merging the results of the working group meetings and incorporating initial feedback, the Draft Requirements Report served as a basis for requirements discussions at the day-long National Patient Tracking Summit Military Attendees which allowed interested agencies, organizations and vendors to offer comments and feedback. The result was a complete list of general, functional and technical requirements.
