“…Numerous studies investigating the allocation of medical resources have been carried out on a global scale. International comparative studies have indicated that Japan boasts an equitable dispersion of nurses, and its healthcare system garners high levels of public satisfaction [11][12]. In contrast, a comparison with the United States reveals that physicians in the US are inclined to gravitate towards areas with higher income, unlike in Japan where such a pattern is absent; these distinguishing features are attributed to the existence of public health insurance in Japan [13][14].…”

Background Given Japan’s rapidly aging population, a coordinated system for providing medical and care services tailored to regional characteristics needs to be established. To gain useful knowledge for the development of such a system, the present study aimed to identify the structure of the distribution of medical and care resources based on regional characteristics. Methods Initially, regional characteristics were used to group all 334 secondary medical areas in Japan by principal component analysis. Subsequently, the related structure of the distribution of medical and care resources was modeled using structural equation modeling. Finally, multigroup analysis was conducted to investigate differences in the models across groups. Results The nationwide secondary medical areas were categorized based on urbanicity and low-density urbanicity, which revealed differences in the related structure of the distribution of medical and care resources. Conclusions The key finding was that the government’s objective of reducing hospital beds to enhance medical delivery efficiency may not be achieved solely by expanding nursing homes. This finding was particularly relevant in low-density urbanicity groups. Given concerns about the oversupply of nursing homes and sprawl in such areas, we conclude that trends in the location of nursing homes should be closely monitored.

“…Es necesario considerar factores externos que afectan el desempeño de la percepción de la calidad en los servicios de salud. Yuan (2021) demostró que el número de médicos especialistas disponibles, así como las camas disponibles para la atención médica, afecta la percepción de la calidad del servicio, sin embargo, esto está asociado a la disponibilidad y asignación de "financiamiento público" (Yuan, 2021, p. 4) en la política de salud en los países.…”

“…Unfortunately, it is often insufficient, leading to underfunding of public healthcare in some countries [14]. Increasing costs and concern for the quality of health services make many countries face the issue of health system reform and the appropriate balance of public and private medical services [15]. Therefore, the high quality of the functioning of the entire system and its health services is of key importance and can be the answer to many emerging problems.…”

A health crisis caused by a pandemic tested the effectiveness of national healthcare systems by testing both financing and organizational and technical performance of patient care. At that time, the structural flaws in healthcare systems and inequalities in the level of healthcare in its different dimensions and countries due to resource constraints were highlighted. Therefore, the paper concentrates on investigating how the crisis in the health system affects the quality of healthcare services as a result of changes in the availability of financial, material, and human resources belonging to this system. The quantitative data, in terms of healthcare characterizing the OECD countries and selected non-member economies, treated as an example of economically developed regions, were chosen for the analysis. The study included five areas of resources, i.e., demographic, financial, human, technical, and the delivery of basic services in healthcare. T-test method for dependent samples, supplemented with Hedge’s g statistics, was applied to test the differences between the mean values of individual indicators. The results indicate the occurrence of changes in some areas of the healthcare system due to a crisis. Identifying areas that are particularly vulnerable to sudden changes in the healthcare system helps to understand which resource areas need to be strategically managed first, as shifts in levels respond to deteriorating healthcare quality outcomes.
