Model construction and empirical study of location selection model for portable color Doppler ultrasound equipment configuration in county medical community / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Carrying out the optimal location selection of medical equipment in the medical community plays an important role in scientifically allocating equipment resources and improving the service capacity of medical community. Aiming at minimizing the operating cost of the location selection and configuration of the portable color Doppler ultrasound instrument in the county medical community and the shortest time spent on medical visits for residents, the authors established the total value objective function of the medical community configuration according to the value engineering method; and considered the relevant constraints such as distance, time and personnel quality, the mathematical model of optimal planning for the selection and configuration of portable color Doppler ultrasound equipment in county medical community was constructed. The empirical research results showed that based on the established constraints, after 5 000 iterations, the model output 5 relatively optimized allocation points among the 9 allocation points, and when the allocation number of each allocation point was 1, the total allocation value in the medical community reached the maximum. This study could provide a new idea and feasible method for the allocation of equipment resources of county medical community in China.
