Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the efficiency of high-tech medical equipment of county-level hospitals in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and to provide a scientific foundation for high-tech medical equipment configuration planning for county-level hospitals.Methods: DEA model was used to evaluate the relative efficiency of 40 county-level hospitals in Guangxi.Results: 4 among 40 hospitals (10.00%) could be categorized as effective hospitals, and pure technical efficiency is not high in 30 hospitals (75.00%). The returns to scale decreased in 20 hospitals (50.00%), and 16 hospitals (40.00%) increased. The average number of the overall efficiency, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency of the 40 hospitals were 0.684, 0.753 and 0.908 respectively. Conclusion: Departments concerned should set reasonable evaluation index to ensure that the evaluation is scientific. Hospitals should strengthen the internal management of high-tech medical equipment to improve the utilization rate of the equipment. Departments concerned are supposed to curb or enlarge the number of the high-tech medical equipment to improve the scale efficiency of the equipment.
