eBrigade Casualties module
Record and track every casualty in the field, in real time
At a first-aid post or a mass-casualty event, record each casualty in under a minute, from the first assessment through to hospital referral. Automatic numbering, medical assessment, dispatch and transport are tracked in real time for the whole chain of command — without a single paper form. And while you enter the data, your response guidelines appear as the answers come in.
These buttons are about the full eBrigade subscription: this module is included at no extra cost in every plan.
Numbered casualty records, reception centres, PSE/PSSP medical assessment, QR code and PDF transmission.
What is the eBrigade Casualties module?
Numbered casualty records, reception centres, PSE/PSSP medical assessment, QR codes and PDF transmission. It is included at no extra cost in every eBrigade plan.
Why use Casualties?
At a first-aid cover (DPS) event with 40 casualties, first aiders write details on hand-numbered paper forms. Referral to hospitals is handled by phone, with no centralised written record. At the end of the event, the medical report is incomplete and the medical lead has to contact every team again to piece the data back together.
What Casualties changes in eBrigade
Every casualty is recorded with automatic numbering (V01, V02…), assigned to a reception centre and tracked from arrival to departure, with dispatch, destination and transport provider. The medical assessment is entered directly on the record (quick mode or full PSE/PSSP assessment), and the assessment is built in the settings to match the standard you follow, with no development needed. During data entry, a “Response guideline” banner reminds the team member of your organisation’s instructions that match the answers given — without interpreting anything or deciding for them. The person in charge has a real-time dashboard — casualties in progress, dispatched, transported — and sends each record as a PDF by email.
What you can do with Casualties
Each record gets the next number for the activity (shown as V01, V02…), whether it is entered on an intervention or in a reception centre.
The simple record captures the essentials in seconds (identity, life-threatening distress, death, care, transport). One click switches to the full assessment, with its intervention form (PSE) and post-rescue follow-up (PSSP).
The content of both forms is set in the settings, with no development: add your categories and fields, choose the input type, write your answer lists and reorder everything by drag and drop. A preview shows the form exactly as team members will see it before you put it into service.
A field can appear only when another is filled in, raise an alert beyond a threshold and move the intervention to the top of the lists, add up other fields (Glasgow score), pre-fill with the current time, and carry a unit and minimum/maximum limits. A field removed from the form stays in the database: assessments already recorded remain readable.
A banner at the top of the record is recalculated with each answer and recalls the instruction written by your organisation. “Breathing: No” and “Carotid pulse: No” bring up the “Cardiac arrest” guideline, with its level — emergency, caution or information — and the source you cite. An instruction appears if and only if the conditions you wrote are met: no guessed score, no interpretation, no artificial intelligence. So afterwards you know exactly what the team member was looking at when they entered the data.
Eleven guidelines ship with the product — cardiac arrest, unconsciousness, low Glasgow score, respiratory distress, signs of shock, high shock index, hypothermia, tourniquet applied… — ready to use straight away and all editable. You write your own in the builder: label, level, instruction, source, and the conditions line by line, read back in plain language under the table. Nobody has to type any code. A switch lets you prepare your set of instructions before opening it to teams, then close it again without losing anything. These instructions and their thresholds are a starting point, to be reviewed with your subject-matter lead before use.
Seven templates are supplied: the standard eBrigade form, which you can reapply to return to the starting point; a supplement aligned with the 2026 PSE National Technical References (DGSCGC, the French civil protection directorate); a module dedicated to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; and templates aligned with Belgian, Swiss, Dutch and American rescue standards. Each brings its fields, answer lists and display conditions — and, for the standard form, the 2026 PSE supplement and cardiac arrest, its response guidelines. Each template can be compared with your form before it is applied, as a supplement or a replacement, and must be validated by your subject-matter lead before going into service. You can also export your own settings to a file, to back them up, move them to another instance or share them between sections.
Generate a QR code per casualty, print a sheet of wristbands and scan it from a mobile to open or create the record instantly — entries are de-duplicated on the identification number.
Assign each casualty to a reception centre with arrival and departure times, mark them as “dispatched”, and enter destination, transport provider and hospital arrival time to track flows and avoid overloading any one facility.
The person in charge sees at all times the number of casualties in progress, dispatched and transported, with a filter by reception centre and counters updated for the whole coordination team.
Produce the assessment record as a PDF, send it by email (with a copy to the sender), and attach documents protected by clearance level. On non-certified hosting, a CNIL (France’s data-protection authority) warning limits the record to the initial of the surname; the HDS hosting module lifts this restriction.
Step by step
Enter your reception centres, casualty statuses, destinations and transport providers, and choose the activity types concerned. Then build the assessment itself — categories, fields, answer lists, order and behaviour of the two PSE and PSSP forms — or start from a template in the library of standards. Your settings can be exported to a reusable file.
Below the fields, set the instructions the team member should see appear during data entry: label, level (emergency, caution, information), instruction, cited source, and the conditions line by line, read back in plain language. Eleven guidelines are already supplied and work from installation; a switch lets you prepare your own before opening them to teams.
Automatic numbering, medical condition, assignment to a reception centre and transport destination, all on mobile and paper-free. Scanning a QR code opens or creates the record directly in the field, and the “Response guideline” banner recalls your instructions as the answers come in.
Follow the real-time dashboard (in progress, dispatched, transported), switch to the full assessment when needed, produce the record as a PDF and email it to the medical lead.
Where this module really pays off
First-aid cover (DPS) & event safety: digital casualty recording with automatic numbering (V01, V02…) and referral to care centres.
Fire and rescue services (SDIS) & emergency medical aid: real-time casualty reporting, medical data, dispatch and transport destination tracked.
Advanced medical posts & mass-casualty incidents: identification by QR code and printed wristbands, de-duplicated entry even with several responders.
Approved civil protection associations: PSE/PSSP assessment aligned with the federation’s standard from the settings, and a PDF record that can be sent to the medical lead.
Recently trained team members & occasional reinforcements: the organisation’s instructions appear during data entry, with their urgency level and source, instead of relying on memory of a protocol learnt in training.
Organisations handling health data: GDPR-compliant entry (surname initial only without HDS) and full identity via the HDS hosting module.
Frequently asked questions
How are casualties identified quickly in the field?
Each casualty can be given a QR code (with a printable sheet of wristbands) that can be scanned from a mobile to open an existing record or create a new one, with de-duplication on the identification number. A new record is entered in under a minute with the essential fields.
What is the difference between the simple record and the full assessment?
The simple record captures the essentials (identity, life-threatening distress, death, care, transport) in seconds. One click switches to the full assessment, organised in two pages: PSE (emergency form) and PSSP (post-rescue follow-up). The categories and fields of this assessment are fully configurable by the administrator.
Can we adapt the assessment to our federation’s standard?
Yes, with no development. From Settings › Casualty › Assessment form, you build your categories, fields and answer lists, reorder them by drag and drop and set how they behave: conditional display, alert beyond a threshold, calculated sum such as the Glasgow score, unit, minimum and maximum values, pre-fill with the current time. A preview shows the exact result before you put it into service.
Are there ready-to-apply standard templates?
A library of seven standards is supplied with the module. It contains the standard eBrigade form — which you can reapply to return to the starting point after experimenting —, a supplement aligned with the 2026 PSE National Technical References (DGSCGC) that adds the intervention timeline, the life-threatening conditions of the second look, the questioning of the fourth look and the EVDA and FAST scores, a module dedicated to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and templates aligned with Belgian, Swiss, Dutch and American rescue standards. Each template brings its fields, answer lists and display conditions, and must be validated by your subject-matter lead before going into service. Each can be compared with your form before being applied, as a supplement or a replacement. You can also export your own settings to a file and import it on another instance.
Can the assessment help the team member decide in the field?
Yes. A “Response guideline” banner at the top of the record is recalculated with each answer and shows your organisation’s instructions matching what has just been entered: for example, “Breathing: No” combined with “Carotid pulse: No” brings up the “Cardiac arrest” guideline. Each line carries its level — emergency, caution or information —, its instruction and the source you cite. It helps recall your protocols during data entry; it replaces neither training nor medical dispatch.
Does eBrigade make a diagnosis or use artificial intelligence for this?
No, and that is deliberate. An instruction appears if and only if the conditions you wrote in the settings are met: no interpretation, no guessed score, no artificial intelligence. The result can therefore be replayed — you know exactly what the team member was looking at when they entered the data. The software decides nothing: it recalls the instruction your organisation wrote, along with the source it cites.
Who writes the response guidelines, and can they be switched off?
Eleven guidelines ship with the product (cardiac arrest, unconsciousness, low Glasgow score, respiratory distress, signs of shock, high shock index, hypothermia, tourniquet applied…): they work from installation and can all be edited or deleted. You add your own from the assessment form builder — label, level, instruction, source, and the conditions line by line, read back in plain language under the table, without writing any code. A “Show decision support during data entry” switch lets you prepare your set of instructions before opening it to teams, then close it again: the banner disappears from the record, while the instructions stay in the database and remain editable. These instructions and their thresholds are a starting point, to be reviewed with your subject-matter lead before use.
Can casualties be imported in bulk?
Yes. A downloadable Excel template lists the columns (surname, first name, sex, date of birth, identification, address, transport, destination, statuses…) and the import creates the records automatically — useful for preparing an event or bringing in an existing list.
Is casualty health data GDPR-compliant?
A CNIL (France’s data-protection authority) warning is displayed during data entry. On non-certified hosting, only the initial of the surname is recorded. To process a full identity, the HDS (Health Data Hosting) module brings the hosting into compliance. Note: date of birth or age is required (for compatibility with SINUS, the French standardised casualty-tracking system).
How does this module fit with the Intervention and First-aid cover (DPS) modules?
A casualty can be linked to an existing intervention or to a reception centre of the activity. The data is aggregated in the activity’s overall report, and the casualty dashboard is accessible from the same interface, without switching screens.
Can the record be sent to a healthcare facility?
Yes. Each assessment record can be produced as a PDF and sent by email directly from the record, with an optional copy to the sender and a default address saved on the activity. Documents can be attached to the casualty with a clearance level.
