The paper discusses the concept of ICT-aided identification of mass casualty events and prioritization of victims of a mass casualty event for treatment in a Hospital Emergency Department (HED), which relies on a distributed network-centric Data Communications System for Managing Medical Rescue Operations (DCSMMRO). A method for triaging patients is presented and the functional architecture of a utility application for setting treatment priorities in DCSMMRO is designed. The proposed method and the developed application for the data communications system were verified on the example of a hypothetical event.
