About

This video focuses on patient movement coordination. It describes how patients are tracked using a simple numbering system called CUPS, similar to triathlon numbers. The plan outlines steps for moving patients between healthcare facilities and involves forms to request resources at different levels: local, regional, state, and federal. It also highlights the importance of in-route medical care and repatriation to help communities recover after incidents. The section concludes with an introduction to federal coordination in the next part of the training series. This video is number 3 out of 5 in an educational series.
