STUDY ON THE METHOD OF MANAGEMENT OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL AID STATION

– Investigation report of survey on the practical use method of institutions by medical staff 2 –

Abstract

Our purpose is to develop a manual for the set up of emergency medical aid stations. Our previous report determined the most suitable locations and layouts for emergency medical aid stations based on ideas devised by medical specialists with disaster training and experience, taking an elementary school as an example. However, simply identifying location and layout in advance is insufficient. Thus, we broaden our previous results to include utilization of non-medically essential areas for related support activities, and to examine management methods incorporating both staffing and furniture placement requirements for the efficient operation of emergency medical aid stations.
