ABSTRACT
Objective: To optimize the allocation scheme of military medical equipments based on the characteristics of modern war and the progression of the military medical equipment of People's Liberation Army (PLA). Methods: Aiming to optimize the allocation of military medical equipment, we designed the integrated framework of the allocation system and analyzed the need of optimized allocation. Using the linear programming and queuing theory, we established the optimized allocation models for both medical treatment equipments and evacuation equipments. Results: Based on the health service characteristics of military medical equipments, the optimized allocation models for medical treatment equipments and evacuation equipments were successfully established. The application of the established models was studied in the medical service station of the division level. Conclusion: The optimized allocation scheme of military medical equipment has been proposed in the present study, which provides evidence for decision-making on the future development of military medical equipments of PLA.
