Disaster Medical Coordination Center (DMCC) Planning

DMCC’ are designated hospitals and care providers, where trained medical personnel gather to help coordinate patient movement during a mass casualty incident that may overwhelm the healthcare community. DMCCs are responsible for supporting EMS and the healthcare community by identifying available beds and placing patients at the most appropriate facility, based on their injuries or illness, as quickly as possible. Collaborative work includes the coordination, planning and information sharing of program design and operations that work well within their communities. This work leverages support from consulting partner, Jensen Hughes.
