    Objective This paper summarizes practical experience on current medical and nursing resources allocation in 15 long-term care insurance pilot cities, and explore long-term care service supply model which is suitable for China's national conditions. Methods From the perspective of resource allocation, through policy text analysis, it used deductive content analysis and type analysis, focused on the service content and projects of long-term insurance design, and divided supply patterns of 15 cities according to medical-related and nursing-related resources. Results According to the allocation of medical and nursing resources, the service supply model of China's long-term insurance pilot cities could be divided into three categories such as high medical low nursing, balanced medical and nursing, and low medical and high nursing. Among these cities, Shihezi City had the highest proportion of medical service resources supply (66.7%), Nantong City had the highest proportion of nursing service resources supply(72.0%), Shanghai and Guangzhou were relatively balanced in supply of medical and nursing resources. Conclusions There are plural models for the supply of medical and nursing resources in the 15 pilot cities. However, the choice of specific model selection and design should be based on local financial capacity, basic conditions of health resources and the health needs of residents, adjust supply and allocation of medical and nursing resources, and conduct design reform on the basis of scientific research.

    Objective To know market structure of health human resources in Guangxi,explore the relationship of competitive situation of health human resources and its medical expenses so as to provide decision-making reference for rational allocation of health human resources and control of medical expenses. Methods Based on HHI index and market dispersity(1/HHI)value,described market competition intensity and competition situation of health human resources. It used Welch ANOVA test to analyze the difference of health human resource distribution among different GDP levels regions. It adopted Wilcoxon symbol rank sum test to analyze the relationship of the distribution of health human resources and market and population size. It explored the relationship between market dispersal and medical expenses through Spearman correlation analysis. Results The maximum HHI values of physicians and nurses was 0.1122 and 0.1063,respectively,and the minimum values was 0.1019 and 0.1032,respectively. All of them were oligopolistic medium-low oligopoly type II market structure. The dispersity(1/HHI)value of two kinds health human resources market in prefectures and cities was relatively close,basically maintained between 8 and 10,less than the standard value of 14,the market structure was not perfect. The correlation coefficient between physician resource market dispersion and medical expenses was -0.627(P<0.05),the correlation coefficient between nurse resources market and medical expenses was -0.126(P>0.05). Conclusions The health human resources are more concentrated in the cities with large economies and large population. The siphon phenomenon is remarkable. The medical cost control effect is not good,and the lack of health human resources competition has aggravated this situation. The medical service market structure is not reasonable,the difference in the distribution of health human resources among regions is more obvious. It is suggested that the government and relevant departments should optimize the allocation of health human resources,increase the control of medical expenses,and improve the construction of the medical service market.
