The next Rugby World Cup will take place in England commencing August 2015. This paper describes the preparation and workload relating to the previous Rugby World Cup, held in New Zealand 2011, as it affected the primary receiving hospital for the main venue. This paper describes preparation arrangements and actual workload patterns to assist planners with future similar events.
Preparations for the tournament were summarised, and data gathered from the Auckland City Hospital database were analysed for total and hourly presentation rates, short-stay observation workload, admission rate, 6-hour target compliance and type of presentation.
Overall workload during the tournament increased by 8%, but much larger spikes in attendances per hour and short-stay workload related to the major events were experienced. Alcohol-related presentations were very much more prominent than usual. Pre-arranged additional staffing and flow arrangements allowed the department to maintain 6-hour target compliance.
Major sporting events, such as the Rugby World Cup, require special arrangements to be put in place for the main local receiving Emergency Department, especially around the major events of a tournament.
下一届橄榄球世界杯将于2015年8月在英国举行。本文描述了2011年在新西兰举办的上一届橄榄球世界杯期间的筹备工作及工作量情况,因为其对主要比赛场馆的主要接收医院产生了影响。本文描述了筹备安排及实际工作量模式,以协助规划者应对未来类似赛事。
总结了赛事筹备情况,并对奥克兰市医院数据库收集的数据进行分析,以了解每日及每小时就诊率、短期观察工作量、入院率、6小时目标达标情况及就诊类型。
赛事期间总体工作量增加了8%,但每小时就诊人数和与重大赛事相关的短期工作量出现了更大幅度的激增。与酒精相关的就诊情况比平时显著得多。预先安排的额外人员配备和流程安排使该科室能够保持6小时目标达标。
像橄榄球世界杯这样的重大体育赛事,需要为当地主要接收急诊科室做出特殊安排,尤其是在赛事的重大活动期间。
