Project Details
Goal of the project
The aim of this study is to provide best-practice recommendations for battlefield medical care based on the results of computer simulations. The objective is to provide guidelines which can be used to increase the efficiency of battlefield medical care operations and to reduce the mortality and morbidity of wounded servicemen, with a focus on the impact of changes to timelines of treatment and continuum of care. The results of the simulations will serve as guidelines for the development of directives and policy papers by the ACO Medical Advisor at SHAPE.
Role of the organisation
RMA is in charge of the development of the simulator, running and analyzing the simulations.
