Moreover in the course of the project all people involved should become aware of the problematic nature of the operation and do their best to keep it up to date. The hospitals need special planning for both, mass accident as well as damage area management . This means that every hospital, regardless of its size, requires a practicable and well trained plan for such cases. This does not only include the enhancement and coordination of the medical performance, but also important additional tasks which have to be added to the daily practice. That's why a plan for the organization at a major accident exceeds the simple task of only alarming additional forces.
Every management requires organization and leadership.
Especially in times of a crisis an additional need of immediate action arises and decisions have to be taken in a straight forward way. In case of emergency the alarm has to be quick and reliable. The competence to set the alarm in motion has to be settled as low as possible in the hierarchy. Otherwise time is lost during early phases of the plan. This time is decisive and will not be compensated anymore.
