Planning Healthcare for a Mass Gathering

 

I had a conversation with Craig Hooper from Operational Health about mass gathering health. To listen to the podcast, visit http://www.operationalhealth.com/#!204-planning-mass-gathering-healthcare/c1srl


The following is taken directly from the Operational Health website.

----START----
Craig chats with Assistant Professor Jamie Ranse about the clinical and operational planning that sits behind mass gatherings. Using World Youth Day 2008 as a case study, Jamie discusses the need to engage a cross section of health and healthcare providers. International perspectives are also discussed with the underlying messaging being that progress toward improved health planning at mass gathers relies on shared definitions and data points and moving away from purely descriptive journal articles to articles.
