Paramedics trialing patient barcode tracking after Bourke Street rampage

A mass casualty tracking system to help reduce confusion is being trialled in Sydney in the wake of the Bourke Street tragedy. Paramedics could soon have access to a smartphone app that will track the location of patients from the scene to hospital after difficulties emerged in dealing with the Bourke Street aftermath. Emergency services were confronted with an unprecedented amount of victims spread over a large area when Dimitrious Gargasoulas allegedly drove a car into pedestrians on Bourke Street in January last year, killing six people and injuring dozens more.
