  • Staff Procedure Skills in Management Groups during Exercises in Disaster Medicine

  • Journal:
    Prehospital and Disaster Medicine / Volume 22 / Issue 4 / August 2007
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:

  • Introduction:

    In stressful situations such as the management of major incidents and disasters, the ability to work in a structured way is important. Medical management groups initially are formed by personnel from different operations that are on-call when the incident or disaster occurs.

    Objective:

    The aim of this study was to test if performance indicators for staff procedure skills in medical management groups during simulations could be used as a quality control tool for finding areas that require improvement.

    Methods:

    A total of 44 management groups were evaluated using performance indicators in which results could be expressed numerically during simulations.

    Results:

    The lowest scores were given to documentation and to the introduction of new staff members. The highest score was given the utilization of technical equipment.

    Conclusions:

    Staff procedure skills can be measured during simulations exercises. A logging system may lead to enhancing areas requiring improvement.
