Abstract

Key disaster hospitals should prepare for the accormodation of a lot of seriously-injured victims due to a big earthquake in the future. It is necessary for doctors and nurses to increase their emergency response capacity. In this paper, e-learning contents for doctors and nurses on emergency responses in key disaster hospitals has been developed. Users can access the system through the intranet/internet and learn the seven priorities: CSCATTT that should be implemented just after the disaster. About 300 doctors and 800 nurses finished learning in 2007 and increase in their disaster awareness was evaluated by comparing answers to questionnaire surveys before and after the learning.
