Objective:To analyze the equality of health resource allocation in functional areas of Beijing from 2012 to 2022, so as to provide reference for optimizing the allocation of health resources during the 14th Five-Year Plan and long-term planning.Methods:According to the new urban master plan and the functional positioning of the capital, 16 districts in Beijing were divided into 4 functional regions(capital core area, urban functional expansion area, urban development new area, and ecological conservation area). Based on the analysis of permanent population, the levels of health resources in each region and each administrative district were compared, and the equity of health resources was measured by using the Dagum Gini coefficient.Results:In 2022, the Gini coefficients of medical and health resources in Beijing, including the number of beds, number of health technicians, and number of practicing(assistant) physicians, were 0.71, 0.65, and 0.63, respectively, with no significant change compared to 2012. While the Gini coefficient for equipment priced over 10 000 yuan was 0.75, slightly lower than 0.79 in 2012. The differences in resource allocation mainly came from different regions. The Gini coefficient of the above four indicators in the urban functional expansion area was the lowest, followed by the capital core area, and the Gini coefficient of the ecological conservation area was the highest. The Dagum Gini coefficient of the four indicators of urban development new area showed a decreasing trend year by year.Conclusions:In recent years, there has been no significant change in the overall equality of medical and health resource allocation in Beijing. Only the Gini coefficient of urban development new area has shown a downward trend. It is necessary to further promote the fair and reasonable allocation of medical and health resources among functional areas in Beijing.

OBJECTIVE To calculate the cost of centralized dispensing of four categories of drugs (ordinary drugs, antibacterial drugs, hazardous drugs, and parenteral nutrition solutions) in pharmacy intravenous admixture service (PIVAS), and provide reference for setting charging standards for relevant departments. METHODS The operating costs of PIVAS in 12 medical institutions from Shaanxi province were collected through questionnaire survey, including labor costs, medical and health material costs, fixed asset depreciation and repair costs, water and electricity costs, and management costs. The operation time allocation coefficient method and workload allocation coefficient method were comprehensively used to allocate the above costs, and the unit preparation costs of four categories of drugs were calculated. RESULTS The average annual total costs of dispensing ordinary drugs, antibacterial drugs, hazardous drugs, and parenteral nutrition solutions in Shaanxi province were (2 195 900.25±1 680 893.73) yuan, (746 341.59±725 839.39) yuan, (331 420.15±183 258.83) yuan, and (330 322.68±277 281.70) yuan, respectively, with labor costs accounting for the highest proportion, averaging 85.49%. The costs of dispensing a set of ordinary drugs, antibacterial drugs, and hazardous drugs were 5.89, 7.60, and 14.37 yuan, respectively; the cost of dispensing one bag of parenteral nutrition solution was 32.15 yuan (excluding the cost of disposable intravenous nutrition bags). CONCLUSIONS The cost calculation method and data of different types of intravenous drugs obtained in this study can provide reference for relevant departments to formulate and adjust PIVAS fee standards.
