Abstract：Objective To understand the configuration and use of medical equipment matching the functional positioning of primary
medical institutions in Liaoning province, and to provide reference data for the management and regulation of primary medical
equipment by local health and health administrative departments. Methods Primary medical institutions in the nine demonstration
zones/counties of Liaoning Province were investigated. A self-made questionnaire was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among
persons who was in charge of medical equipment of medical institutions. Results A total of 34 community health service centers
and 81 township health centers were included in the analysis (86.5%). Except to biochemical analyzers, the number of various types
of related equipment in community health service centers and township health centers was similar, and they were all at a low level.
In particular, the deployment rates of DR, blood analyzers, urine analyzers, and hemagglutinators were low. There were 27.8% of
institutions believed that daily needs could not be met due to “insufficient number of equipment”, and 38.4% of equipment exceeded
the depreciation period and the proportion of township health centers was higher (P=0.004). There were 1.3% of institutions believed
that daily needs could not be met due to “stale equipment or inadequate level of demand”. In addition, compared with community
health service centers, more township health centers believed that “the level of technical staff cannot meet the needs of diagnosis
and treatment” (33.8% vs. 8.3%, P=0.006) and “lack of operators” (47.3% vs. 25.0%, P=0.042) leaded to equipment failure to meet
daily needs and low utilization. The top three devices that could not be met by primary medical institutions were DR, ultrasound,
and CT. Conclusion Liaoning’s primary medical institutions have some problems with equipment configuration and use, such as
insufficient equipment configuration rate and number, outdated equipment, lack of technical personnel or limited technical level, and
low equipment utilization. The township health centers are more prominent than community health service centers. The local health
and health administrative department should carry out effective management and regulation on the above issues.
