Presentation Transcript

  1. Thayer School of Engineering and Dartmouth Medical School Host and Cosponsor Medical Disaster Conference, Biological Response Resources and Logistics U.S. Army Soldier and Biological Chemical Command Cosponsor

  2. WELCOME 2

  3. WORKSHOP GOALS 1. Develop a resource and logistic strategy to respond to different scales of biological incidents 2. Develop a command and control strategy to implement the response 3. Conceptualize a future biological response system employing distributed command and control, tele-medicine and robotics. 3

  4. WORKSHOP APPROACH Response Groups develop near-term resource, logistic & C&C strategy Scenarios Technology Group conceptualize future biological response system 4

  5. WHAT IS THE SITUATION? • Integrated response strategies are defined – e.g. BW Response Template • Resource requirements can be estimated • Sources, integration, transportation, control of resources not defined • Future response concepts unknown 5

  6. IMPACT OF SITUATION • Hospitals accept increasing ill, go on emergency operations • Hospitals fill up, lock down, ill and worried-well back up • Hospitals become non-functional from staff burn out • Confusion leads to resources not effectively utilized 6

  7. WORKSHOP CHALLENGE • Requisite brainpower is here! • Need focus to achieve results. 7

  8. HOW TO FOCUS? Begin with Scenario & casualties Response strategy Resource requirements Available resource estimates Forward Pass Develop Resource & logistics, C&C strategy End with improved Response strategy Resource requirements Resource & logistics, C&C strategy Backward Pass
