Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the operational efficiency and its changes of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)hospitals in Guangdong province,and to provide empirical evidence for improving the operational efficiency of TCM hospitals in Guangdong Province.Methods:The three-stage DEA model was used to conduct a static analysis of the operating efficiency of TCM hospitals in Guangdong Province in 2022,and the Malmquist index was used to conduct a dynamic analysis of the changes in the operating efficiency of TCM hospitals in Guangdong Province from 2018 to 2022.Results:After eliminating the influences of environmental variables and random interference,the average values of comprehensive efficiency,pure technical efficiency and average scale efficiency of the TCM hospitals in Guangdong Province in 2022 were 0.970,0.982 and 0.988,respectively.From 2018 to 2022,the total factor productivity index of Guangdong's TCM Hospitals was 1.008.Conclusion:The overall operation efficiency of TCM hospitals in Guangdong is high,but there are obvious regional differences.Further improvement of operation efficiency is mainly restricted by pure technical efficiency.Operational efficiency needs to be further improved through measures such as coordinating the layout of resources in various places,improving the external environment,sounding the internal management system of hospitals,and fine-tuning operational management.
