MRSE POWERPOINT
The Medical Response & Surge Exercise (MRSE) uses a surge scenario to help health care coalitions and other stakeholders assess how well their members can work together to respond to a sudden health care crisis. It is an exercise designed to test a coalition’s functional surge capacity and to identify gaps in surge planning. There will be no movement of actual patients.

• Surging facilities (collectively representing 20% of a Health Care Coalition's acute-care bed capacity) must coordinate with the HCC and fellow coalition members to manage the medical surge, ensuring availability of resources and appropriate, staffed beds for all patients.
• The exercise is designed to work in a broad range of coalitions, including those without an active response role.
