Translating Battlefield Practices to Disaster Health
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 February 2017
Abstract
We review aspects of the recently released National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report A National Trauma Care System: Integrating Military and Civilian Trauma Systems to Achieve Zero Preventable Deaths After Injury most relevant to disaster health, particularly the concepts of focused empiricism and building a learning health system. The article references battlefield success utilizing these concepts and the emerging Disaster Research Response Program. We call upon disaster health researchers to apply the report’s recommendations to their work. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2017;11:510–511)
