Based on GIS technology, the improved two step floating catchment area method is applied to study the accessibility of medical treatment in the Weifang city center area and assess the impact of graded diagnosis and treatment on the accessibility of residents with the community as the basic unit. The conclusion is that the accessibility of medical treatment in the downtown area of Weifang is multi-centered, and the accessibility of communities distributed in center, northeast and east part of the city is relatively high, and those at the edge of the central urban area is low. The medical accessibility is improved under graded diagnosis with different referral rates, However, because the second and third-level hospitals are concentrated in the central and northeastern regions, graded diagnosis and treatment will also aggravate the differences in accessibility between communities, which makes it difficult to maintain fairness. Therefore the layout of medical facilities should be improved by guiding medical resources to the fringe areas of the central city, and locating primary medical facilities in the center of the community to improve the convenience of residents.
