- Summary:
- The Medical Surge Capacity and Capability (MSCC) Management System describes a management methodology based on valid principles of emergency management and the Incident Command System (ICS). The MSCC Management System emphasizes responsibility rather than authority alone for assigning key response functions and advocates a management-by-objectives approach. In this way, the MSCC Management System describes a framework of coordination and integration across six tiers of response: Management of Individual Healthcare Assets (Tier 1), Management of a Healthcare Coalition (Tier 2), Jurisdiction Incident Management (Tier 3), Management of State Response (Tier 4), Interstate Regional Management Coordination (Tier 5), Federal Support to State, Tribal, and Jurisdiction Management (Tier 6).
