I have found those tags worse than worthless even for disasters.

Subject: Prehospital Report (vs Triage?)


Just finished a loooong discussion with the director
of prehospital services at my institution (Mexican
Army), we are implementing a new prehospital report
but he insisted in using the triage tags (cards) but I
insisted on using those only for multiple victims.  Is
anybody on the list  aware of using just one report
for all patients including disasters?  My opinion on
the matter is that if we put a lot of information on
the triage tags then the purpose of rapid filling of
the form is lost.  Being in the army I could have
ended the discussion with a: look this is the way we
are going to do it! but I really want to have some
data or input from you experts on the matter, thanks a
lot in advance.
