Description
Promoting the balanced and equitable allocation of regional medical and health facilities has become a consensus. Especially as a vulnerable group, children 's health problems can not be ignored. Hospitals providing pediatric diagnosis and treatment have become an important place and the last line of defense to ensure children 's health. However, problems such as uneven distribution of pediatric medical resources and poor accessibility of services are widespread. To gain a deeper understanding of whether the allocation of pediatric diagnosis and treatment hospitals is equitable, this paper adopts a "supply and demand perspective" and discusses from both the supply and demand sides. It considers the spatial distribution of pediatric diagnosis and treatment hospitals, the supply volume, and the distribution and demand volume of children. The study explores whether there are imbalances in resource supply and demand in different regions, such as oversupply or shortage.
The method chain of " nearby service analysis-supply and demand balance analysis-facilities competition analysis " was constructed. Firstly, the nearby service capacity of hospitals was analyzed through the service area. Secondly, the mobile search method was used to analyze the relationship between supply and demand. Finally, the influence scope of each hospital was discussed from the Huff model to characterize its competitiveness. On this basis, referring to the planning guidance and effective experience of global cities in the fair supply of facilities, this paper puts forward the evaluation and suggestions on the distribution of pediatric hospitals in Shanghai and provides a reference for the construction of a " balanced-fair " allocation of regional medical resources.
