Definition
Temporary facilities that are established in areas that have been devastated by a major disaster or large-scale emergency to collect, evaluate and treat individuals who have been injured during the incident. Field hospitals are established following the most catastrophic disasters when area and regional hospitals are overwhelmed or unusable, and offer surgical treatment and the full range of other interventions required by critically injured individuals.
