Abstract :
The rational allocation of medical resources, purchase and renewal of medical equipment are very important in the management of medical equipment. In this paper, the fuzzy synthetic evaluation and analytic hierarchy process were introduced. Based on FAHP, an evaluation model was proposed to evaluate the allocation of medical resources. For the medical equipment that would be purchased and renewed, economic feasibility analysis was performed and a mensurable judgment has been obtained.
