Abstract:
Objective To analyze the current status of health resources and medical service utilization in children's hos-pitals in China in 2022,explore existing challenges,and propose targeted solutions.Methods This study evaluated the develop-ment of health resources and service utilization patterns in children's hospitals based on 2022 data.Results Children's hospi-tals exhibited a"dumbbell-shaped"structure in bed capacity distribution,with severe polarization between small-scale and large-scale facilities.Insufficient human resources and excessive workloads were prominent,particularly for physicians.Additionally,outpatient services faced high pressure,while inpatient resources were underutilized.Conclusion To address these issues,we recommend optimizing the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system by leveraging medical consortiums for resource allocation,enhancing pediatric physician training and adopting technology to alleviate workloads,and improving inpatient service models with dynamic resource allocation to address seasonal demand fluctuations.
