Abstract

The unexpectedly announced evacuation of a medical facility brings a number of complications and steps that must be managed in a very short period of time. The presented qualitative research was solved with the help of content retrospective analyzes of available scientific documents by means of a set keyword. Subsequently, from the proven analyzes, a system of evacuation groups and management of prioritization of patient evacuation was compiled using a significance tree. The result of the work is a unique decision-making mechanism for prioritizing patients who have a selection of patients in case of insufficient time to evacuate the entire ward. The proposed decision-making mechanism tries to eliminate the common paradigm of planned evacuation and applies elements of management of mental prioritization of patients from disaster medicine and war medicine to civilian crisis planning in healthcare.
