Abstract：To give full play to the inherent strengths of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）and improve
the efficiency of medical resource allocation，this study evaluates the operational efficiency of TCM ⁃ related
healthcare institutions in China over the past decade. Based on the BCC model under the Data Envelopment
Analysis （DEA） framework，a horizontal evaluation is conducted on the static characteristics of resource
allocation efficiency. Meanwhile，the Malmquist index model is used to conduct a longitudinal measurement of
the inter⁃temporal dynamic evolution of efficiency. The study finds that the changes in the resource allocation
efficiency of Chinese TCM healthcare institutions over the past decade are mainly divided into three stages：the
adjustment and adaptation period from 2013 to 2017，the coordinated break through period from 2017 to 2020，
and the resilience reconstruction period from 2020 to 2022. The overall resource level of TCM healthcare
institutions is relatively low，with significant disparities across provinces. Their resource allocation efficiency is
restricted by the unbalanced regional development，with over half of the provinces experiencing serious
resource input redundancy and insufficient output，and such inefficiency is significantly impacted by public
health emergencies and structural imbalances in input.
