Medical Surge Kit – START Configuration
The Medical Surge Kit – START Configuration is designed to support hospitals, receiving facilities, and healthcare partners during mass casualty incidents, large-scale events, and patient surge operations. This kit helps extend patient management beyond the incident scene by supporting organized intake, tracking, treatment coordination, and communication with field response teams.
Key Features
- Expands patient management to receiving facilities
- Supports self-transport and walk-in patient tracking
- Aligned with EMT3® patient accountability concepts
- Helps coordinate hospital surge response and treatment areas
- Provides interoperability between field response and healthcare facilities
Designed for Hospital Surge & Receiving Facility Coordination
During a major incident or planned large-scale event, not every patient arrives by ambulance. The Medical Surge Kit helps facilities prepare for both transported patients and self-transport patients who may arrive separately from the organized EMS transport process.
By providing triage tags, patient tracking tools, documentation forms, and coordination materials, this kit supports a more organized connection between field triage, hospital intake, treatment area management, and patient accountability.
START Configuration
This version is configured for agencies and healthcare systems using START-based triage processes. It supports standard START triage color categories and helps receiving facilities align with the field response structure used during many mass casualty incidents.
Common Uses
- Hospital mass casualty incident preparedness
- Medical surge planning for large public events
- Receiving facility coordination during MCIs
- Self-transport patient intake and tracking
- Healthcare coalition and regional preparedness programs
- Training exercises, drills, and after-action review

Medical Surge Kit for Hospital MCI Preparedness
The Medical Surge Kit – START Configuration helps hospitals and receiving facilities prepare for the patient surge that can follow a mass casualty incident, major planned event, transportation incident, public safety emergency, or regional disaster.
While field responders focus on triage, treatment, and transport, hospitals must also be prepared to manage patients arriving by ambulance, private vehicle, public transportation, or on foot. This kit supports the receiving facility side of the response by helping organize patient identification, documentation, treatment area coordination, and patient accountability.
Supports Interoperability Between Field and Hospital Response
When field teams, hospitals, and emergency management partners use compatible patient management tools, the overall response becomes easier to coordinate. The Medical Surge Kit helps bridge the gap between scene operations and receiving facility operations by supporting a shared structure for triage documentation and patient tracking.
Preparedness for Planned Events and No-Notice Incidents
This kit is well suited for hospitals supporting large public events, venue preparedness, regional healthcare coalition planning, and emergency response drills. It can also support no-notice incidents where a rapid increase in patient volume requires organized intake and documentation processes.
