The document discusses a proposed regional approach called ASCEND that would link healthcare facilities and emergency assets into an integrated medical evacuation system. It outlines the need for such a system given increasing risks from natural disasters, terrorism, and public health crises. The proposal describes how ASCEND would coordinate six functions - emergency management, EMS, healthcare facilities, transport, special needs transport, and support - to accelerate emergency response across larger geographic areas and patient volumes.
