Good day! I will gladly help you understand this order.
1. **Essence of the Order:**
The order amends the previous order of the Ministry of Defense regarding the accounting of tactical prehospital care for servicemen. It introduces a new form of primary accounting documentation – the “Casualty Card” – and instructions for its completion, as well as adjusts certain provisions regarding the completion of the “Primary Medical Card.”
2. **Structure and Main Provisions:**
* **Amendments to the Previous Order:** The order changes the title of the previous order No. 879 of December 31, 2024, expanding it to cover accounting forms used during the provision of tactical prehospital care and medical care at the prehospital stage during military operations and the preparation of defense forces.
* **Introduction of a New Form:** Form No. 002/o “Casualty Card” and instructions for its completion are introduced.
* **Mandatory Maintenance:** The order obliges the maintenance of the “Casualty Card” within six months from the date of its entry into force.
* **Technical Correction:** A correction is made in paragraph 14.2 of the Instructions for filling out form No. 001/o, replacing the word “підчеревину” (subperitoneum) with “очеревину” (peritoneum).
* **Appendices:** The form of the “Casualty Card” and instructions for its completion are approved as appendices to the order.
* **Entry into Force:** The order comes into force from the date of its official publication.
3. **Main Provisions for Use:**
* **”Casualty Card”:** This form is key for recording the assistance provided at the scene. It contains information about the condition of the casualty, injuries received, assistance provided (including medications and infusions), vital signs, and other important information.
* **Instructions for Completion:** The instructions describe in detail how to properly fill out the “Casualty Card,” including abbreviations, a list of evacuation categories, and storage requirements.
* **Mandatory Maintenance:** It is important to ensure the mandatory maintenance of this form by all those who provide tactical prehospital care to ensure proper accounting and transfer of information about the wounded person’s condition to the next stages of evacuation and treatment.
* **Electronic Form:** It is allowed to maintain the card in electronic form, which can simplify accounting and information exchange.
* **Storage Period:** The card must be stored in digitized form for 10 years.
* **Evacuation Categories:** It is important to correctly determine the evacuation category, as the priority of evacuation of the wounded depends on this.
