Comprehensive evaluation on bed utilization efficiency of public TCM hospitals in 17 cities of Hubei province

Abstract

To evaluate the bed utilization efficiency of public TCM hospitals in 17 cities of Hubei Province, the date of the bed utilization of public TCM hospitals in 17 cities of Hubei Province in 2017 was collected. Then, the entropy weight method was used to determine the weight of evaluation indicators, and the method of TOPSIS and RSR were used to evaluate bed utilization efficiency. The bed utilization efficiency of public TCM hospitals in 17 cities of Hubei Province can be divided into three levels. Ezhou, Yichang were in lower range, Huanggang, Enshi, Jingmen, Huangshi, Tianmen, Wuhan, Qianjiang, Xiangyang, Xianning, Shiyan, Shenlongjia, Xiantao were in midrange and Jingzhou, Suizhou, Xiaogan were in higher range. The method of entropy weight TOPSIS and RSR can reflect the bed utilization efficiency of public TCM hospitals in different cities objectively and comprehensively, and the results are scientific and reliable. There is a big gap in the bed utilization efficiency of public TCM hospitals in cities of Hubei Province. It is suggested that cities with low bed utilization efficiency should give full play to the characteristics and advantages of TCM to improve the core competitiveness of hospitals and to enhance the attractiveness of hospitals to patients. At the same time, public TCM hospitals should deepen the integration of TCM and Internet, and optimize the medical service process of TCM to improve the bed utilization efficiency.
