Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) in New Zealand (NZ) are located at hospitals or airports near the communities they serve. This may result in suboptimal response times. Timely access to advanced hospital care improves critically injured patients' chances of survival. This study optimised the location of HEMS bases in NZ and compared current versus optimal placement on timely access for surrounding populations. Optimal placement of HEMS bases could result in 113,886 additional people (3% of the population) benefiting from access to advanced hospital care within one hour. Optimal placement would especially benefit indigenous Māori as well as deprived and rural communities.
新西兰的直升机紧急医疗服务（HEMS）位于其服务社区附近的医院或机场。这可能导致响应时间不理想。及时获得高级医院护理可提高重伤患者的生存几率。本研究优化了新西兰直升机紧急医疗服务基地的位置，并比较了当前位置与优化位置对周边人群及时获得服务的情况。直升机紧急医疗服务基地的优化选址可使另外113,886人（占总人口的3%）受益于在一小时内获得高级医院护理。优化选址将尤其使毛利原住民以及贫困和农村社区受益。
