Abstract:
Objective To assess the technical efficiency and subsystem technical efficiency of the healthcare institutions in China,including that of management system and medical system.Methods Panel data of 31 provinces' healthcare institutions were selected,and Network DEA was adopted to assess such input indicators as managerial staff and health technical personnel,and such output indicators as medical revenue and number of medical visits.Results The technical efficiency of healthcare institutions is as lower as an efficiency mean of 0.853 in five year.Provinces of Zhejiang,Shandong,Henan,Guangdong and Tibet have maintained a higher level.The healthcare system breaks down into two independent subsystems of the management subsystem and medical subsystem.The mean of the former one is 0.937,higher than 0.783 of the latter.The number of medical revenue and that of patients in the non-effective provinces were relatively inadequate.Conclusions Healthcare resources allocation in China needs to be optimized.It is imperative to adjust the input-output ratio,improve medical service quality via scientific management.
