Abstract:
Objective:By analyzing the spatio-temporal evolution and driving factors of the adaptation of high-quality medical resources to the elderly population in the Yangtze River Delta Region of China,it explored the development trend and leading driving factors of the adaptation of high-quality medical resources to the elderly population in the Yangtze River Delta Region of China,and the decision references were provided for further optimizing the allocation of high-quality medical resources in the Yangtze River Delta Region and improving the health service level of the elderly population in the Yangtze River Delta Region.Methods:The spatial dislocation index was employed to measure and analyze the spatio-temporal evolution of the adaptation of high-quality medical resources for the elderly population in prefecture-level cities in the Yangtze River Delta Region from 2016 to 2023,and the leading driving factors of the adaptation were further analyzed by using the geographical detector method.Results:The adaptability of high-quality medical resources to the aged population in the Yangtze River Delta Region showed a trend of steady improvement,and implied the spatial characteristics of"insufficient in the northwest,redundant in the southeast"and"inter-provincial differences greater than intra-provincial differences".Scientific and technological innovation ability plays a leading driving role in the adaptation of high-quality medical resources to the elderly population in the Yangtze River Delta region.Conclusion:In order to deepen the reform of the allocation of high-quality medical resources in the Yangtze River Delta Region and effectively improve the level of regional health services for the elderly population,it is recommended to build a regional medical collaborative development mechanism,promote the gradient sinking and balanced allocation of high-quality medical resources,strengthen the scientific and technological innovation support system in the medical and health field,and further promote the efficiency of medical resources integration and the innovation of medical resources development.
