Abstract
TCM, as a traditional medical science in China, has received strong support from the country in recent years. Although TCM services are on the rise under the promotion of the government, there is still the problem of unreasonable resource allocation. In this article, the entropy weight TOPSIS method, Theil Index and Moran Index were used to analyze the TCM resources from 2016 to 2021. It is believed that the comprehensive score of China's current TCM resource allocation is not high, and Sichuan, Beijing, Chongqing, Zhejiang, and Inner Mongolia rank relatively high; the TCM resources of were distributed spatially; the imbalance in resource allocation mainly comes from the differences between provinces (cities); it is suggested to intensify the scientific planning of TCM, comprehensively develop the TCM cause according to local conditions, and improve the efficiency of resource utilization.
Key words:
