Abstract: Abstract The hospital registration system in China is a system that dispense hospital slots ordered based on the patients’ registration time. This mechanism could face a problem of unfairness among patients; patients who have better registration devices tend to have a partial advantage over others and neglect the urgency difference among patients. Many alternative methods of registration have been raised to seek better solutions, including lottery mechanism, parallel matching system, and Gale Shapley method. These methods have been summarized into a presentative math model and have been evaluated based on their efficiency and equality based on pareto efficiency and the presence of blocking pairs and tried to find out the practical use of all these systems. Although some methods could be better in some special circumstances, the serial registration policy is still the most efficient and fair matching mechanism for most of the time. Thus, policymakers should continue refining its technological safeguards and tiered-urgency protocols to sustain its legitimacy and accessibility.
