When an incident occurs in one region and it is likely a neighboring region will receive patients from the incident, you can activate the mutual aid agreement for bidirectional insight.
In the Mutual Aid Activation page:
- The top table shows the regions to which a mutual aid relationship request has been submitted. These are the regions Juvare helped you set up.
- The bottom table shows the regions that have requested a mutual aid relationship with your region.
- If you want to allow users in another region to locate patients associated with your region, be sure to select the Allow Requester Locate option for that region.
Important: Your regional administration should leave your mutual aid relationships inactive until you need them. In this way, another region does not have access to your region's information when there is no emergency or disaster.
