Study on the differences in the allocation of health human resources in Guangdong Province based on entropy weighted TOPSIS and rank sum ratio method
Objective To analyze the differential level of health human resource allocation in Guangdong Province from 2016 to 2021,and provide reference basis for optimizing the allocation of health human resources in Guangdong Province.Methods The entropy weighted TOPSIS method and rank sum ratio method were used to select multiple health human resource evaluation indicators and evaluate 21 cities in Guangdong Province from 2016 to 2021,measuring the differences in health human resource allocation among different regions.Results There was severe differentiation in the allocation of health human resources among different regions in Guangdong Province.Based on the entropy weighted TOPSIS method,the highest and lowest relative proximity values in the Pearl River Delta region were 0.981 and 0.369,respectively.The highest relative proximity value in the eastern region of Guangdong was 0.137,and the lowest value was 0.034.The highest relative proximity value in the western region of Guangdong was 0.389,and the lowest value was 0.285.The highest relative proximity value in the northern region of Guangdong was 0.599,and the lowest value was 0.296.The allocation level of health human resources in the Pearl River Delta,western Guangdong,and northern Guangdong regions was significantly better than that in the eastern region of Guangdong.According to the rank sum ratio method,the allocation level of health human resources in Guangzhou,Zhuhai,Zhongshan,and Shaoguan was in the"good"level(Probit>6),while the"poor"level(Probit<4)were Chaozhou,Jieyang,and Shanwei.The other 14 cities were all in the"medium"level(4<Probit<6).Conclusion There are significant regional differences in the proportion of medical staff and the allocation of general practitioner resources in Guangdong Province,and the results of health human resource allocation are at a moderate level.In this regard,it is necessary to strengthen the construction of talent teams of registered nurses and general practitioners,enhance the expansion of health human resources and regional balanced layout,narrow the differences in health human resource allocation among different regions,and improve the allocation of health human resources.
