AN OPERATIONAL CONCEPT OF AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL COMMAND AND COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

Abstract

An operational concept for an Emergency Medical Command and Communications System (EMCCS) is derived from an analysis of natural disaster reports and the anticipated conditions attending a nuclear attack. A conceptual EMCCS model is described in terms of system elements, types of information circulated, communications links and traffic load determinants. A general approach to implementation of an EMCCS is described with a brief discussion of constraints imposed by current commitments and projected changes. The importance of validating the conceptual EMCCS is discussed and future research is suggested.
