Book excerpt: Excerpt from Measurement of Hospital Efficiency Using Data Envelopment Analysis In this study, the use of dea in the health care environment is being considered because of the widespread interest in improving the performance of health care institutions and in reducing the costs of their services. At the same time, there is evidence that the incentives for improved health care organization efficiency are minimal due to the revenue or costs reimbursement systems, and there is also evidence that inefficiencies exist among a sizeable percentage of these institutions and particularly hospitals. Other techniques used to evaluate efficiency of heatlh care organizations including ratio analysis and regression analysis ahve been found to have serious limitation [14] so that.dea represents a new and possibly superior alternative which we con sider in this study.

Download or read book Measuring Hospital Efficiency Through Data Envelopment Analysis When Policy Makers Preferences Matter written by Vincenzo Rebba and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we show how both the choice of specific constraints on input and output weights (in accordance with health care policy-makers' preferences) and the consideration of exogenous variables outside the control of hospital management (and linked to past policy-makers' decisions) can affect the measurement of hospital technical efficiency using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Considering these issues, the DEA method is applied to measure the efficiency of 85 (public and private) hospitals in Veneto, a Northern region of Italy. The empirical analysis allows us to verify the role of weight restrictions and of demand in measuring the efficiency of hospitals operating within a National Health Service (NHS). We find that the imposition of a lower bound on the virtual weight of acute care discharges weighted by case-mix (in order to consider policy-maker objectives) reduces average hospital efficiency. Moreover, we show that, in many cases, low efficiency scores are attributable to external factors, which are not fully controlled by the hospital management; especially for public hospitals low total efficiency scores can be mainly explained by past policy-makers' decisions on the size of the hospitals or their role within the regional health care service. Finally, non-profit private hospitals exhibit a higher total inefficiency while both non-profit and for-profit hospitals are characterised by higher levels of scale inefficiency than public ones.

Download or read book Hospital efficiency analysis in England and Germany What lessons can be learned from each other written by Lucas Fandrey and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Medicine - Hospital Environment, Clinical Medicine, grade: 80, University of Hertfordshire, language: English, abstract: This report analyses the efficiency of hospitals in England and Germany. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is utilised to estimate a best practice frontier and to evaluate the performance characteristics of different hospitals in the two countries. The measurement categories of input factors are represented by the hospital size (amount of beds), number of wards, number of employed medical specialists, sum of total inpatient admissions, demographic environment (population density in population/km2), and one output factor (mortality rates). Regarding these factors, the main findings reveal that the allocation of inefficient hospitals in England is broadly spread and, therefore, the mean efficiency value of hospitals in England is ≈44% (whereas 100% describes efficient units). In contrast, the mean efficiency value of German hospitals equates to ≈91%. Consequently, the allocation of inefficient German hospitals is less spread and the overall performance of hospital health supply is more efficient in Germany compared to England. Most remarkably, the amount of inpatient admissions is one of the main drivers for efficiency and especially the English hospitals suffer from high numbers of inpatient admissions, which may be reduced due to improvements in the primary healthcare supply provided by general practitioners.

Download or read book A Data Envelopment Analysis Approach for Measuring the Efficiency of Canadian Acute Care Hospitals written by Tamas Fixler and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a methodology particularly well-suited to measuring the efficiency of hospitals because it is able to accommodate multiple heterogeneous inputs and outputs in order to model the complex relationships that exist within them. This thesis uses DEA to develop two hospital efficiency models in collaboration with the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). The first model measures the clinical efficiency of Canadian acute care hospitals in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The model uses inputs measuring the intensity and duration of clinical resource utilization and includes survival rate as the key output. The second model measures the overall production efficiency of acute care hospitals and uses labour and capital inputs together with outputs measuring inpatient and outpatient activity. Both models include non-discretionary variables adjusting for case mix variations among the hospitals.

This book was released on 2011-08-23 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook covers DEA topics that are extensively used and solidly based. The purpose of the handbook is to (1) describe and elucidate the state of the field and (2), where appropriate, extend the frontier of DEA research. It defines the state-of-the-art of DEA methodology and its uses. This handbook is intended to represent a milestone in the progression of DEA. Written by experts, who are generally major contributors to the topics to be covered, it includes a comprehensive review and discussion of basic DEA models, which, in the present issue extensions to the basic DEA methods, and a collection of DEA applications in the areas of banking, engineering, health care, and services. The handbook's chapters are organized into two categories: (i) basic DEA models, concepts, and their extensions, and (ii) DEA applications. First edition contributors have returned to update their work. The second edition includes updated versions of selected first edition chapters. New chapters have been added on: different approaches with no need for a priori choices of weights (called “multipliers) that reflect meaningful trade-offs, construction of static and dynamic DEA technologies, slacks-based model and its extensions, DEA models for DMUs that have internal structures network DEA that can be used for measuring supply chain operations, Selection of DEA applications in the service sector with a focus on building a conceptual framework, research design and interpreting results.
Download or read book State of the Art written by Bruce Hollingsworth and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After reviewing over 300 published papers on frontier efficiency measurement, the techniques used are mainly non-parametric data envelopment analysis based, but there is increasing use of parametric techniques, such as stochastic frontier analysis. Applications both to hospitals and wider health care areas are reviewed and summarised, and some meta-type analysis undertaken. This seemingly confirms earlier findings concerning public provision being more efficient than private. The paper considers earlier conceptualizations of efficiency, where there appears much confusion, and points to policy implications of trends of generating such information.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the authors explore the state of the art on efficiency measurement in health systems and international experts offer insights into the pitfalls and potential associated with various measurement techniques. The authors show that: - The core idea of efficiency is easy to understand in principle - maximizing valued outputs relative to inputs, but is often difficult to make operational in real-life situations - There have been numerous advances in data collection and availability, as well as innovative methodological approaches that give valuable insights into how efficiently health care is delivered - Our simple analytical framework can facilitate the development and interpretation of efficiency indicators.
