Federal Patient Movement Capabilities

• National Ambulance Contract– 300 Amb/3000 para-transit seats/life-flight

• Military Ground Ambulance – Humvee

• Military Helicopters – MEDEVAC/CASEVAC– National Guard and Active Duty

• Civilian Contract Airlines– Low acuity/Ambulatory/Chronic patients

• NDMS Fixed Wing Patient Evacuation

Page 5: NDMS Patient Movement

NDMS Patient Evacuation

• DoD has primary responsibility – Movement from point of origin to receiving Federal

Coordinating Center (FCC) Patient Reception Area (PRA)

– Primarily relies on air• AE = Aeromedical Evacuation

• System Components– Movement Requests– Staging – Regulating– Lift– Reception & Distribution– Tracking (HHS JPATs)

Page 6: NDMS Patient Movement

System Capability

• Patient Evacuation can begin 36 hrs from notice • System can move 500 patients per day (up to

20% critical) – Up to four Airfields

• Limited capability for patients – Suggest the following patients be evacuated

by other modes • High-acuity burn • NICU and PICU • Psychiatric (if requires medical supervision)

Reception Sites(FCC)

Page 8: NDMS Patient Movement

What we need to know

• How many patients over what period (approx)• What airfields (coordinated approval)• Rate of delivery to the Airfield • Acuity of Patients (higher Acuity, less

patients)– Litter/Amb – Space, number of patients/plane– Critical – CCATT and Equipment– Vented – CCATT, Equipment and O2

• How will Patient Movement Requests flow• Will need to know but make best guess

Page 9: NDMS Patient Movement

Other factors

• Notice vs No Notice– Hurricane vs Earthquake/CBRNE

• Catastrophic or Not (Potential or Just Bad)– 7.8 Earthquake/Nuke or Prestorm/Wildfire

• State Request Submitted or On Fence – Mission Assignment Driven Process

• Single or Multi-State Event

Challenges• Patient Movement Requests • Number of patients; over period of time (approximately) • FEMA Mission Assignment (MA) to DoD • Identification and allocation of space on Airfields • Rate of delivery to the Airfield(s)

– right patient – right airhead – right order/time

• Acuity of patients (higher acuity = less patients) – Litter/Ambulatory – space, number of patients/plane – Critical – CCATT, Equipment, O2 (20% max) – Vented – CCATT, Equipment, O2

• # Non-medical attendants (i.e. pediatric patients - 20% max)
