RFID Wristbands for Mass Casualty and Disaster Patient Triage: Rapid Identification in Emergencies

Mass casualty incidents require rapid patient identification that paper tags cannot reliably support. This emergency preparedness guide explains how RFID wristbands enable color-coded triage at the scene, tap-to-record patient registration, continuous tracking through treatment, and family reunification. It also covers durable waterproof designs, temporary field hospital infrastructure, and integration with disaster management systems. Emergency medical services, disaster response coordinators, and hospital emergency department managers will find practical selection criteria and deployment guidance for RFID triage wristbands.
