Image Transfer

All patients evacuated through casualty evacuation should have images sent electronically ahead of time as well as have a CD created to send with the patient as a backup. Although at times trauma patient’s true name may not be known during the initial evaluation, it should be stressed that usually it becomes known sometime soon thereafter. Ensuring the patient’s information is updated with the real name rather than a local hospital’s trauma name will ensure those studies are available for review through the health care evacuation system.
