Mass Casualty Triage Performance Assessment Tool

This report contains a description of a tool for mass casualty triage assessment which is a primary task for units with the Defense Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) Response Force (DCRF) mission. Such units provide life saving and sustaining support, including medical triage, to civil authorities following a catastrophic event. The tool was developed to be easy to implement and score by a military trainer but also provide substantive information about a trainee s performance. Unit personnel reviewed the tool for accuracy and functionality. A prototype of medical triage assessment, instructions on how to use it, and a scoring rubric are included. The description of the tool s development is given in Curnow, Bryson, Barney, Keller-Glaze, and Vowels, 2015. Development of a Mass Casualty Triage Performance Assessment is ARI Technical Report 1350. Prepared in collaboration with ICF International, Fairfax, VA.
