Book excerpt: Excerpt from Measurement of Relative Efficiency of Health Service Organizations With Data Envelopment Analysis: A Simulation A final distinction is that this paper will deal with measure ment of technical efficiency in contrast to price or allocative efficiency. An organization is technically inefficient if it is possible to increase physical outputs without increasing its inputs, or if it can decrease the inputs without decreasing its outputs Price efficiency - the purchasing of inputs at the lowest price and sale of outputs for the highest price-and allocative efficiency the use of the correct mix of inputs based on the relative prices are of importance but need not and will not be considered concur rently with technical inefficiency. By focusing on the physical inputs and outputs that determine technical efficiency, we can determine if the firm could become more efficient regardless of whether it is efficient with respect to price and allocation considerations.

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 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.

Download or read book Pay for Performance in Health Care written by Jerry Cromwell and published by RTI Press. This book was released on 2011-02-28 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a balanced assessment of pay for performance (P4P), addressing both its promise and its shortcomings. P4P programs have become widespread in health care in just the past decade and have generated a great deal of enthusiasm in health policy circles and among legislators, despite limited evidence of their effectiveness. On a positive note, this movement has developed and tested many new types of health care payment systems and has stimulated much new thinking about how to improve quality of care and reduce the costs of health care. The current interest in P4P echoes earlier enthusiasms in health policy—such as those for capitation and managed care in the 1990s—that failed to live up to their early promise. The fate of P4P is not yet certain, but we can learn a number of lessons from experiences with P4P to date, and ways to improve the designs of P4P programs are becoming apparent. We anticipate that a “second generation” of P4P programs can now be developed that can have greater impact and be better integrated with other interventions to improve the quality of care and reduce costs.
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.

Download or read book Factors Affecting the Technical Efficiency of Health Systems written by Ramin Ravangard and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Improving efficiency of health sector is of particular importance in all countries. To reach this end, it is paramount to measure the efficiency. On the other hand, there are many factors that affect the efficiency of health systems. This study aimed to measure the Technical Efficiency (TE) of health systems in Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) countries during 2004-10 and to determine the factors affecting their TE. Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical and panel study. The required data were gathered using library and field studies, available statistics and international websites through completing data collection forms. In this study, the TE of health systems in 10 ECO countries was measured using their available data and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) through two approaches. The first approach used GDP per capita, education and smoking as its inputs and life expectancy and infant mortality rates as the outputs. The second approach, also, used the health expenditures per capita, the number of physicians per thousand people, and the number of hospital beds per thousand people as its inputs and life expectancy and under-5 mortality rates as the outputs. Then, the factors affecting the TE of health systems were determined using the panel data logit model. Excel 2010, Win4Deap 1.1.2 and Stata 11.0 were used to analyze the collected data. Results: According to the first approach, the mean TE of health systems was 0.497 and based on the second one it was 0.563. Turkey and Turkmenistan had, respectively, the highest and lowest mean of efficiency. Also, the results of panel data logit model showed that only GDP per capita and health expenditures per capita had significant relationships with the TE of health systems. Conclusion: In order to maximize the TE of health systems, health policy-makers should pay special attention to the proper use of healthcare resources according to the people's needs, the appropriate management of the health system resources, allocating adequate budgets to the health sector, establishing an appropriate referral system to provide better public access to health services according to their income and needs, among many others.
