Objectives To analyze the balance of medical human resource allocation in Chengdu and to discuss the impact of human resource allocation structure on the hospital’s medical service capabilities, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the hospital to optimize the talent team structure.Methods The Moran’s index and Gini coefficient were used to evaluate the spatial aggregation and grade distribution difference of human resources allocation, respectively. The case mix index (CMI), the length of hospital stay, and the difficulty of surgery were used as outcome variables, and a multiple regression analysis model was established to explore the impact of human resource indicators on the hospital’s medical service capabilities.Results The distribution of doctors showed an obvious spatial aggregation in Chengdu, and there was a positive spatial correlation (Moran’s Idoctor=0.290); the distribution of nurses had no obvious spatial aggregation (Moran’s Inurse=0.102). Under different medical service capacity segments, the Gini coefficient of doctors was 0.518, and the Gini coefficient of nurses was 0.576, both exceeding 0.5, indicating that the distribution of medical human resources in different levels of hospitals was considerably different. The regression results showed that the expansion of the quantity of senior title doctors and the proportion of medical care both could improve the hospital’s CMI. The increase in the quantity of doctors with senior titles also had a certain impact on improving the hospital’s surgical capabilities. The expansion of the proportion of medical care could lead to a slight increase in the length of patients' hospital stay.Conclusions Optimizing the allocation structure of medical human resources in different regions and hospitals with different levels is an important task in the construction of a hierarchical diagnosis and treatment system. It is necessary to further integrate medical human resources throughout the whole city and strengthen personnel training and team building in primary health institutions. Hospitals at different levels should implement their own development positioning and further optimize their human resource allocation structure according to development needs. Tertiary hospitals should pay more attention to the cultivation of senior professional doctors, optimize the proportion of medical care, and improve the hospital’s medical service capabilities. The primary health institutions should pay attention to the comprehensive construction of medical personnel, and strengthen the development of the team of general practitioners, so as to achieve a comprehensive improvement of the city’s medical service capabilities.
