Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the coupling coordination relationship and spatial correlation among the service demand,resource allocation and utilization efficiency of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM),aiming to provide theoretical support and optimization strategies for achieving the coordinated operation of the TCM systems in various provinces and promoting the coordinated development of TCM in different provinces.Methods:The data were collected from the China Health and Family Planning Statistical Yearbook(2013-2017)and the China Health Statistics Yearbook(2018-2023),the entropy method was employed to determine the weight of each evaluation index within the subsystems.A coupling coordination degree model and spatial econometric model were applied to assess the coupling coordination values and spatial correlations of the TCM system across various provinces in China.Results:In 2022,the national average coupling coordination degree was 0.603,with values of 0.648,0.577,and 0.563 for the eastern,central,and western regions,respectively.The western region had the highest number of provinces classified as"disordered type".A spatial clustering effect of the coupling coordination degree across 30 provinces.Conclusions:While the allocation of TCM resources has shown steady improvement,the demand for TCM services and utilization efficiency have exhibited a declining trend.The coupling coordination degree follows a decreasing gradient from east to west and exhibits significant spatial effects,a regional collaborative development mechanism for TCM should be established.
