Abstract

Operation managers in mass casualty incidents (MCI) are easily overwhelmed by the highly dynamic scenario. Today, they are often supported by paper-based checklists that help ensure that nothing important gets overlooked. In this paper, we present our approach to dramatically increase the support offered by such checklists: We suggest to replace them by IT-based intelligent checklists that will not only display information the manager should collect and tasks he might perform, but directly support semi-automatic information gathering, propagation and task-execution.
