A full response chain surge capacity test of a small rural hospital, prehospital resources and collaborating organisations
The simulation system provided detailed data to determine surge capacity and capacity-limiting factors in the mass casualty incidents response at a rural hospital and performed as a training tool for staff. Methods to improve pre-test simulation system knowledge should be examined. Broad inclusion of cooperating organisations was found beneficial.
