Abstract:
For allocating the limited medical resource rationally, evaluating the convenience of the medical resource scientifically is important. Firstly, the characters of evaluating objects, service contents, and spatial and temporal dimensions of community medical facility are analyzed. Then the convenience evaluating index system is then built up from the convenience of service which the medical facilities provide and the community acquires respectively. According to the data envelopment analysis (DEA) model, the evaluation index is improved with no-input and the methods of evaluating the convenience of community and medical facility are presented. On the basis of this, taking into account of the road traffic, the distribution of population, and medical facilities, the convenience value of medical resource in town is calculated using the network analysis and overlay functions of GIS. The above method applied in the convenience evaluation of medical resource in Beijing suburbs is validated well
