About

The Ohio Statewide Hospital Burn Surge Plan aims to manage burn patients during mass casualty incidents. It describes how hospitals in Ohio will work together when local resources are overwhelmed. The plan includes guidelines for patient care, coordination among hospitals, and roles of different centers like Burn Centers and Base Hospitals. It also outlines steps for transporting burn victims and provides training resources. The goal is to ensure that all burn patients receive proper care even if they cannot be immediately transferred to specialized centers.
