The impact of mass gathering events on emergency healthcare services

大规模集会活动（MGEs）在澳大利亚各地频繁发生。从紧急医疗保健服务的角度编制MGE时，支持决策的证据有限。本研究利用从昆士兰州旅游和活动中心、昆士兰州救护车服务中心、昆士兰州急诊科和气象局定期收集的数据，旨在确定在五年内（2015 - 2019年）750个计划中的MGEs附近对救护车和急诊科服务的影响。预期的结果包括提高预测MGE所需紧急保健服务的能力，从而加强规划和反应，使MGE与会者和MGE东道社区受益。

Mass gathering events (MGEs) occur frequently across Australia. The preparation of a MGE from an emergency healthcare service perspective is conducted with limited evidence to support decision-making. Using routinely collected data from Tourism and Events Queensland, Queensland Ambulance Service, Queensland Emergency Departments, and the Bureau of Meteorology, this research aims to determine the impact on ambulance and emergency department services in the vicinity of 750 planned MGEs over a five year period (2015 - 2019). The expected outcome includes an enhanced ability to predict the required emergency healthcare services for a MGE, therefore enhancing the planning and response, benefiting MGE attendees and the MGE host community.
