Coordinated by the Department of Veterans Affairs and Eastern Colorado Health Care System, a recent exercise tested 10 hospitals and five emergency medical services agencies throughout the Denver metro area, according to an article on the Highlands Ranch Herald website.
In the fictional scenario, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake had struck Salt Lake City.
The exercise was designed to gauge how the hospitals would perform in a real mass-casualty incident, and evaluators were on hand to grade the exercise.
In addition to triaging and treating patients, the hospital must be able to communicate with the other agencies responding and handle internal logistical tasks, as well as relay information to the public.
