A mass gathering always presents a challenge to the medical providers of a city since preparations must be made to cover any potential disasters, big or small. With a prediction of several hundred thousand people coming to the New York City area to participate in the Papal Masses, the New York City-Emergency Medical Services readied its forces of physicians, paramedics, and emergency medical technicians from throughout the region. Extensive multi-agency planning involving a Total Quality Management process was integral to the success of covering the events.
大规模集会对一个城市的医疗服务提供者来说始终是一项挑战，因为必须做好准备以应对任何可能发生的灾难，无论大小。预计有数十万民众将前往纽约市地区参加教皇弥撒，纽约市紧急医疗服务部门集结了来自该地区各地的医生、护理人员和急救医疗技术员队伍。涉及全面质量管理流程的广泛多机构规划对于成功应对这些活动至关重要。
