Book excerpt: Excerpt from Measurement of Relative Efficiency of Health Service Organizations With Data Envelopment Analysis: A Simulation Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a new methodology based on linear programming concepts, provides an approach to evaluate the relative technical efficiency of nonprofit organizations which have multiple inputs and outputs. This approach potentially will identify inefficient units and the magnitude of the inefficiency to provide a basis to select inefficient units for management review or efficiency audits and to help locate areas where operations might be improved. This is believed to be an improvement over existing approaches to evaluate efficiency of such organizations and is directed toward health service organizations in this study because of the potential value of such an approach in this sector. This paper investigates an application of DEA to an artificial data set reflecting the operations of a hospital department. The underlying technology is specified from which a set of efficient and inefficient hospital units are developed. Without knowledge of this technology, DEA accurately identifies the inefficient units when the inputs and outputs are properly specified. In contrast, the widely used single-output measures applied to this data set are found to be less reliable in this multiple output environment. The strengths and limitations of DEA are further elaborated to anticipate issues that may arise in subsequent field applications of DEA to hospitals.

Download or read book Measuring the Efficiency of Public Health Services by DEA written by Neda Vitezić and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efficiency is one of the most important principles in public health services due to the strive for rationality and, at the same time, the need to strengthen quality. The aim of this research is to explore and analyse the suitability of DEA to measure the efficiency of a range of different services offered by institutes of public health in Croatia. DEA is a technique that is used to measure relative efficiency. It is traditionally used for non profit organizations. This technique has so far mostly been used in assessing solely the efficiency of hospitals and not other public health preventive services. For that reason the objective of this study is to identify units within one department of public health services that are relatively inefficient and to set targets for them based on the activities of units classified as efficient. We used data for 12 units (DMUs) for the period of two years, defining common inputs and outputs. The results obtained show projections of efficient and inefficient DMUs, projection of inefficient units at efficient frontier allows comparison between most similar units by efficiency and provides information on controllable inputs and outputs. This research has proven that relative efficiency obtained with DEA can be a useful tool in assessing efficiency of public health services on level of one institution and could support management decision-making process.

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.
Download or read book Efficiency of Health System Units in Africa written by Muthuri Kirigia and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2013-12-29 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite sending huge sums of money on health every year the African regions burden of disease is persistently high. Most of the countries in the region are lagging behind in achieving the health-related United Nations Millennium Development Goals. The African regions dismal health situation has largely been blamed on weakness pertaining to such factors as health leadership and governance; service delivery; health workforce; medicines, vaccines, and health technologies; health information; and health system financing that have undermined the capacity of health systems of countries in the region to improve population health without wastage of resources. Institutionalising health system efficiency monitoring, as a basis for the design and implementation of appropriate policy interventions, has been proposed as an effective way of curbing wastage of health system inputs. Efficiency of Health System Units in Africa: A Data Envelopment Analysis is the first book of its kind on application of the data envelopment analysis technique to examine the efficiency of health system decision-making units in Africa. The book interlaces lecture notes with research articles and case studies to equip students and practitioners of economics, operations research, management science, and public health with knowledge and skills for undertaking technical efficiency, cost efficiency, and total factor productivity analyses.

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 Efficiency in Health Care written by Rowena Jacobs and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-06-01 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the healthcare sector accounting for a sizeable proportion of national expenditures, the pursuit of efficiency has become a central objective of policymakers within most health systems. However, the analysis and measurement of efficiency is a complex undertaking, not least due to the multiple objectives of health care organizations and the many gaps in information systems. In response to this complexity, research in organizational efficiency analysis has flourished. This 2006 book examines some of the most important techniques currently available to measure the efficiency of systems and organizations, including data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier analysis, and also presents some promising new methodological approaches. Such techniques offer the prospect of many new and fruitful insights into health care performance. Nevertheless, they also pose many practical and methodological challenges. This is an important critical assessment of the strengths and limitations of efficiency analysis applied to health and health care.
