Abstract:

According to the characteristics of emergency medical facilities, a hierarchical and progressive location method is proposed to reasonably locating them. Firstly, the entropy weight method is used to calculate the weight of factors related to the location problem, and the preliminary location is also carried out. Secondly, a two-level integer programming model is formulated, which considers the service capacity of the facility, and the actual situation of treating and transferring the mild and severe patients under major public health events. Thirdly, according to the characteristics of the proposed model, an improved immune optimization algorithm is designed to effectively solve it. Finally, the location of emergency medical facilities for public health events in Xiaogan City, Hubei Province is studied as a case, and the reasonable location scheme is obtained for it, which verifies the feasibility of the proposed model and algorithm.

Key words: location of emergency medical facilities, improved immune optimization algorithm, entropy wight method, two-level model, hierarchical and progressive location
