Evaluation and Construction of Medical Facility Life Circle for "Epidemic Grading Response": A Case Study of Guandu District, Kunming

Abstract

This study takes the main urban area of Guandu District in Kunming City as the research object. Based on the assumption that residents tend to choose the nearest medical facilities, and using network map data, official statistical data, and field research data, the point axis system theory and the core theory of life circle are introduced to comprehensively evaluate the medical facilities in Guandu District from three dimensions: space, time, and society. By using ArcGIS kernel density analysis, cost distance analysis, and location allocation analysis, the current layout status of existing medical facilities in Guandu District was analyzed. The problems of uneven spatial distribution of large comprehensive hospitals and incomplete coverage of primary medical facilities in Guandu District were identified, and a "graded response to the epidemic" living circle model was proposed and constructed. An emergency response system model for sudden public health emergencies in Guandu District was developed, and epidemic prevention routes were formulated for major facilities and areas. Targeted optimization suggestions were proposed for five types of medical facilities, including "new construction, urgent renovation, long-term renovation, not included in planning, and planned reuse", To provide reference for the planning of the emergency response system for public health emergencies in Guandu District, including ensuring sufficient pre hospital space, improving the construction of fever clinics and pre screening triage, planning parking spaces reasonably, and fully considering the combination of epidemic prevention and control.
