Research on the Elastic Development of Spatial Layout of Hospitals Based on GIS Platform under COVID-19 Background: A Case Study of Wuhan
Publication: ICCREM 2021
ABSTRACT
COVID-19 has become a major public health emergency in the world. At the beginning of the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, a series of medical squeezes appeared in Wuhan, which exposed the problems existing in the implementation of the hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system. Based on GIS platform, this paper analyzes the spatial layout of medical facilities at all levels in Wuhan and compares and analyzes the usage of daily and epidemic periods. It is found that the interlevel gap in the development of daily medical resources leads to spatial differences in the reserved development flexibility, showing the characteristics of weak elastic coping ability and low reserved development flexibility in the surrounding urban areas, strong elastic coping ability and high-reserved development flexibility in the central old urban area. Therefore, to improve the resilience of medical institutions at all levels, we should promote the balanced layout of primary medical institutions and the “decentralization” of high-level medical institutions in spatial layout, coordinate the number and organizational structure of medical resources at different levels, and implement differentiated allocation strategies.
