Abstract

With regards of quick response, its importance can’t be ingored during the mass‐casualty incident (MCI) event. This paper focuses on the application of a mass‐casualty incidents system in tracking and tracing with the use of the colored active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) triage tag to make information of each vicim visual at the base of operations as soon as possible. Its main funtion mentioned in this paper is to traige the victims with the means of active colored tag. Meanwhile, the injuried information will be saved as data in PDA reader. In the process of the victim’s arrival in the hospital emergency department and the treatment data sheet will be sent back by the hospital information system, so that this system will get the RFID triage tag ID. This system of tracing and tracking is called as a smart MCIs management system.
