The Research On The Community Health Service Institutes' Location Problem

With an aging and growing population, and the people's heightened awareness of health, they become more and more needed for the healthcare services, which induce the problem of inadequate and overly expensive medical services turns out to be a burning issue. The construction of Community Health Service Institutes can solve this problem in a certain degree. The research analyzes the current situation of Community Health Service Institutes, by integrating the system research of location problem; it summarizes the goal of the location of Community Health Service Institutes and the considering factors and related constraints when locating the Community Health Service Institutes. It sets up mathematical models for the Community Health Service Institutes'location problem. So it provides a most optimal and feasible solution, what's more, it provides referential basis for the related decision maker.The thesis primarily introduces the current situation of the research on the location problem of public infrastructure and Community Health Service Institutions. It analyzes the basic methods and theories of location of Community Health Service Institutes, and simply introduces the studies of hierarchical location problem, which establish the theoretical foundation for the following studies of Community Health Service Institutes'location. Then it studies the single level location problem without considering Community Health Service Centers, and it adds the preference of Community Health Service of the neighborhood, therefore it can make sure that the Community Health Service Institutes can be effectively and efficiently used by the urgent people. What's more, a computational example is given to prove the model. Next it studies the hierarchical location problem considering both Community Health Service Centers and Community Health Service Stations, and it sets up hierarchical location model and takes Hongshan district in Wuhan city as an example, from which the thesis gets the related data and offers some constructive proposals to the authority. In the end, it summarizes the deficiency of the paper and the next step of the research ideas.
