N2  - We conducted an unblinded experimental comparative trial during a disaster drill involving DMATs using the WIISARD system and traditional paper tracking of casualties. We shadowed the paper work flow to collect data on 40 victims tracked by both systems. WIISARD captured patients as well as the paper system. However, WIISARDwas superior at tracking patient destinations and transporting units. WIISARD proved to be an effective victim tracking system.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
