As announced in multiple regional meetings, the region’s next Quarterly Triage Day (QTD) Drill will begin
Tuesday, February 5th at 8:00 PM (2000 Hours), and continue until 8
PM (2000 Hours) the next day, February 6th.
·
Hospitals will monitor MCI radios from 8:00 pm to Midnight (2000-2400) on the first day and from 8 AM to Noon (0800-1200) the next day.
EMS crews transporting patients to a hospital during these times should provide a brief message to the hospital via the MCI radio talk groups.
During this exercise every patient should receive a triage ribbon and a
GREEN triage tag. Hospitals
will update their GDAHA Surgenet MCI page at least once every 8 hours, and practice entering patients into the OhTrac incident, which will be created by GDAHA for the drill.
There is more information in the attachments, including an MCI Communications Drill Job Aid, and a QTD flyer. PLEASE POST THE FLYERS and help us
get the word out to all line personnel, both in EMS and in EDs.
We have also slightly updated the training materials. Go to http://gmvemsc.org/training-mcicomm.html,
watch the video (the top video is for EMS, bottom video is for hospital personnel), then, regardless of which you watch, take the quiz at the bottom of the page to receive 1.5 Hours of Con Ed.
If you need additional
GREEN triage tags or triage ribbons, contact GDAHA or Dayton MMRS.
At the conclusion of your shift or the end of the drill, please take a couple of minutes to complete a feedback form at

Thank you for participating in QTD drills to help our region be better prepared for mass casualty incidents of all types.
