Abstract

With regards of quick response, its importance can't be ingored during the mass-casualty incident (MCI) event. This paper focuses on the application of a mass-casualty incidents system in tracking and tracing with the use of the colored active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) triage tag to make information of each vicim visual at the base of operations as soon as possible. Its main funtion mentioned in this paper is to traige the victims with the means of active colored tag. Meanwhile, the injuried information will be saved as data in PDA reader. In the process of the victim's arrival in the hospital emergency department and the treatment data sheet will be sent back by the hospital information system, so that this system will get the RFID triage tag ID. This system of tracing and tracking is called as a smart MCIs management system.

Highlights

Related work2.1.RFID introduction Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology was first introduced at World War II and used to distinguish where the enemy aircrafts are
Normal patient care procedures for a single patient incident is relatively inefficient in terms of speed and resource confirmation
A mass casualty incident requires the use of emergency procedures, such as START (Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment) triage, and victims are grouped into four categories, depending on the urgency of their need for evacuation (Benson, M., et al, 1996)

2.1.RFID introduction Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology was first introduced at World War II and used to distinguish where the enemy aircrafts are. Passive RFID Tags do not contain a battery Instead, they draw their power from the radio wave transmitted by the reader. They broadcast a signal to the reader and can transmit over the greatest distances. They can cost $20 or more and are used to track high value goods or infectious patient in hospital in Taiwan, especailly about student saftey management and elder man monitored are used The START system (Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment) is considered as the most common and easiest one to use In this system, three main things will be checked : breathe, Active or passive.
