Do you believe the MIST report used should be a enduring task to be introduced into doctrine and regs and trained at unit level?

For those that have deployed to Afghanistan or were ABCA comes into play, in terms of medievac, do you believe the MIST report used should be a enduring task to be introduced into doctrine and regs and trained at unit level?

Please elaborate. I am sure many folks outside the medical community have never heard of a MIST report.

The MIST report is a medical report that was used by the Canadians in 2009
and agreed upon in the ABCA. This assisted medevac, FSTs and role 3's with
getting the right patient to the right table for a specific surgeon. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

M- mech of injury<o:p></o:p>

I- injury sustained<o:p></o:p>

S- signs symptoms<o:p></o:p>

T-Treatment given<o:p></o:p> 

This would be called typically to the Surgeon Cell and flight crew as a
pseudo "line 10" or after the NATO nine line went up.<o:p></o:p>

It's essentially a good report when put into application correctly and the
medic on the ground understands and can relay information. Very often are
casualties called up as the wrong priority from the ground?<o:p></o:p>

I've seen it only used in an exercise but I think it would be a great to put it into doctrine.
