Abstract:
Trauma center is an important link of trauma treatment, which is beneficial for professional integrated treatment of trauma patients and reduction of disability and death rate. The establishment of trauma rescue and treatment system is conducive to improving the regional trauma treatment capacity, rationalizing the layout of medical resources and standardizing the trauma treatment. Making full use of geographic information system (GIS) to analyze the big data such as the number of trauma patients, population, ground traffic situation and geographic information in the region and scientifically plan the number and location of trauma centers in the region is crucial to further optimize the geographic layout of trauma treatment centers, coordinate regional trauma treatment resources and improve the overall treatment capacity and is conducive to optimizing trauma treatment resources, improving regional trauma treatment capacity and reducing the disability and death rate of trauma patients. Based on domestic and foreign literature researches, the authors discuss how to use GIS to optimize the trauma rescue and treatment system in China in order to provide a useful reference for construction of regional trauma rescue and treatment system.
