Research on the spatial–temporal evolution of healthcare resource allocation efficiency in China

A customized resource rebalancing strategy at the provincial level should be implemented to reduce the over-allocation of hospitals and beds. Concurrently, accelerating the diffusion of medical technologies to primary care is essential, and make up for the shortcomings of technological progress through regional cooperation platforms and mandatory equipment update cycles. Furthermore, benchmarking management should be adopted, drawing on the practical experience of high-efficiency provinces in integrated healthcare alliances and digital health integration.
