The impact of mass gathering events on emergency healthcare services

大规模聚集事件(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的过程中，支持决策的证据有限。使用从昆士兰旅游和活动、昆士兰救护车服务、昆士兰急救部门和气象局常规收集的数据，这项研究旨在确定在五年内(2015-2019年)计划中的750个MGES附近对救护车和急诊科服务的影响。预期结果包括增强预测MGE所需紧急医疗服务的能力，从而加强规划和响应，使MGE与会者和MGE主办社区受益。

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.
