Abstract：Objective:To develop a comprehensive evaluation index system for hospital bed resource allocation,providing a quantitative tool to optimize resource distribution.Methods:Within the framework of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis(MCDA),an initial pool of indicators was established through literature review,refined via the Delphi method and expert interviews,and finalized using the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)to determine indicator weights.Results:The effective response rates of the two rounds of expert consultation were high,with all experts'authority coefficients exceeding 0.7.The finalized index system consisted of 6 primary indicators and 15 secondary indicators,each with assigned weights.Conclusion:The proposed indicator system demonstrates both systematic structure and practical applicability,providing important guidance for the scientific evaluation and evidence-based optimization of hospital bed resource allocation.
