Objective:Under the background of the"Healthy Shanxi 2030"strategy,it systematically analyzes the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics and equilibrium of health resource allocation in Shanxi Province,and explores the optimization path to promote the high-quality development of health care.Methods:Based on the health statistics of Shanxi Province from 2012 to 2023,it systematically analyzes the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics and equilibrium of health resource allocation in Shanxi Province by using Gini coefficient,Theil index and statistical description method.Results:The total number of health resources in Shanxi Province continues to grow steadily,and by the end of 2023,the total number of medical and health institutions in the province will reach to 37 838,the number of hospital beds will reach to 223 650,and the total number of health technicians will be 260 536.Despite this,the imbalance of regional allocation is still significant,showing a"core-periphery"structure.According to the calculation of the Gini coefficient and the Theil index,from 2011 to 2023,the overall equilibrium of the health resources allocation in Shanxi Province showed a gradual improvement trend,which was reflected in the fact that the Gini coefficient of the number of health institutions decreased from 0.287 to 0.268,and the Theil index decreased by 42.40%.However,the structural imbalance of key human resources such as registered nurses is still significant,and the Gini coefficient continues to be higher than 0.30.The regional differences are mainly due to the economic gradient differentiation,policy orientation and population aging pressure,among which the Gini coefficient in the Jinzhong region group is 0.33,and the contribution of regional differences to the overall imbalance is more than 51.00%.Conclusion:Promote the balanced allocation of health resources and help achieve the strategic goal of"Healthy Shanxi"by optimizing the spatial distribution of resources,strengthening the capacity of grassroots services,improving the talent training and mobility mechanism,and deepening the reform of the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system.
