Abstract
This chapter contains four parts. In order to understand the modeling of the location and distribution of medical rescue institutions, this chapter presents an introduction to the location and distribution optimization of medical supporting institutions, the data resource used in location and distribution optimization of medical support institutions model, construction of the location and distribution optimization of medical support institutions model, and analysis of the location and distribution optimization of medical support institutions model. The first section presents the background, objective, and significance as well as the technical route and design. The second section describes the utilization of the current data resource and data source from field surveys. The third section illustrates the parameters of the location and distribution optimized model of medical support institutions and construction of the location and distribution optimized model of medical support institutions. The last section provides a systemic simulation and describes the utilization of the location and distribution optimization of medical support institutions model. The summary discusses the optimized location and distribution plan of medical rescue institutions, distribution optimization of medical institutions in regional forces, and distribution optimization of medicine supply institutions in regional joint service forces.
