abstract="Relevant changes have occurred in disaster management in Germany due to legal alterations and the introduction of the diagnosis-related groups (DRG) system. This has resulted in a reduction in bed capacities and an increase in bed utilization. In addition to the preclinical deployment strategy the provisional aspects of disaster medicine with the problem of the emergency service/hospital interface will be described. A suggestion for a solution for optimization of patient allocation in mass disasters or catastrophes will be demonstrated with the catastrophe network of the German Society for Trauma Surgery (DGU).<p /> <p>Language: de</p>",
