Emergo Train System - a tool for scientific studies     

Models and simulations can support experimental research on disaster medcial respons management, human factors and decision making. Structured data collection from simulation exercises can provide quantative and qualitative results that allows comparison. The publications below relate to use of Emergo Train System.


ETS includes process indicators and outcome indicators. After an exercise the results of process indicators for management can be related to the end result of patient outcome.
