This paper aims to provide suggestions for the resource allocation of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) during the 14th Five-Year Plan period by analyzing the fairness degree in Tianjin from 2011 to 2019. We used descriptive analysis to study the allocation of TCM health resource in different districts of Tianjin, conducted the Gini coefficient and Theil index on the fairness research. Since the geographical equity of TCM resource allocation in Tianjin was lower than its population equity, and the regional difference was obvious, it is suggested to increase financial input in health to underdeveloped areas, include geography as an important factor in health planning, promote the sharing of resource and strengthen the construction of basic TCM institution.
This paper aims to understand the allocation efficiency of health resource about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Tianjin from 2011 to 2019, and to provide suggestions for the allocation of TCM resource during the 14th five-year Plan period. Descriptive analysis was conducted on the allocation of TCM resource in Tianjin from 2011 to 2019, and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used to study the allocation efficiency and input-output projection of TCM resource in Tianjin. From 2011 to 2019, the allocation and service output of TCM resource in Tianjin increased in some degree. DEA results showed that the allocation of TCM resource was generally effective, and TCM institutions had excess input and insufficient output of health resource in 2015, 2017 and 2018. Considering the output and input of TCM resources in Tianjin from 2011 to 2019 is mismatch, and the structure of resource allocation and investment is poor. Combined with the scale efficiency of resource allocation is low, and resource input redundancy and output deficiency coexist at the same time. It is suggested that control the scale expansion of health resource in TCM institution rationally; enhance the service level of TCM institution; establish scientific assessment and evaluation standard.
