Abstract: In the face of quality problems in government procurement of elderly care services, mastering relationships between quality‐influencing factors and identifying key factors is beneficial for managers to make correct quality control decisions. From the complex networks' perspective, quality‐influencing factors of government purchasing elderly care services are obtained by case analysis, and the influencing factors' network topology is constructed. Importance indexes of nodes are determined with complex network theory, and multi‐indexes are fused by the Pythagoras TOPSIS to evaluate the importance of each factor. The results reveal key factors in the quality of government procurement of elderly care services.
