Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
First, the students are introduced into the field of emergency disaster management. Next, the emergency planning game is introduced. Then, student groups experience the game on realistic mass casualty incident scenarios. Finally, the students report on: 1) improvements of the game, 2) their experience during the game, 3) their performance and main wrong decisions during the game, as well as 4) creative realistic scenarios developed by themselves and investigation of optimal solutions for those scenarios.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
This course gives an overview on emergency disaster management, scheduling emergency patients, and training emergeny staff at ambulatory services. Due to an increasing number of mass casualty incidents, their high complexity and uniqueness, decision makers need Operations Research-based policy models for training emergency staff on planning and scheduling at the emergency site. We developed a discrete event simulation policy model which is applied by the Austrian Samaritan Organization. By calculating realistic small, simple, urban to rather big, complex, remote mass casualty emergency scenarios, our policy model helps enhance the quality of planning and outcome. Furthermore, the organization of an advanced medical post can be improved in order to decrease fatalities as well as quickly treat and transport injured individuals to hospitals.
