• Hospital Mass Casualty Surge Protocol  As a healthcare provider and community leader, the hospitals of Kern County (California) and their staff assume a primary role and responsibility for providing emergent and acute care services to the community during times of medical crisis. The Hospital Mass Casualty Surge Protocol consists of a number of procedures designed to respond to those situations most likely to disrupt the normal operations of area hospitals. Each response is designed to assure availability of resources for the continuation and appropriate placement of patient care during a medical disaster. The plan also addresses the medical needs of victims of a hospital or community based incident.
