In recent years, there has been a rise in Major Incidents with
big impact on the citizens health and the society. Without the
possibility of conducting live experiments when it comes to physical
and/or toxic trauma, only an accurate in silico reconstruction allows us
to identify organizational solutions with the best possible chance of
success, in correlation with the limitations on available resources
(e.g. medical team, first responders, treatments, transports, and
hospitals availability) and with the variability of the characteristic
of event (e.g. type of incident, severity of the event and type of
lesions).
IMPRESS Project Blogspot IMPRESS aims to advance the preparedness of emergency medical services (ambulance dispatch centers, hospitals, volunteer communities etc) in numerous ways, including through planning for all-hazards, increasing surge capacity, tracking the availability of beds and other resources using electronic systems, and developing systems that are interoperable with other response teams.
