Abstract:
Objective:To study the allocation efficiency of private ophthalmology health resources in Shanxi,and to provide references for improving the allocation efficiency of health resources in Chinese private ophthalmology medical institutions.Methods:The resource allocation and services of 70 private ophthalmic medical institutions in Shanxi were collected through a questionnaire survey,and Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA)was used to evaluate the efficiency of health resource allocation in medical institutions of Shanxi.Results:The average values of technical efficiency,pure technical efficiency,and scale efficiency of health resource allocation in private ophthalmic medical institutions in Shanxi were 0.963,0.980,and 0.982,respectively.Among the 70 private ophthalmology institutions,7 institutions were DEA-strongly efficient in health resource allocation,26 institutions were DEA-weakly efficient,37 institutions were non-DEA efficient,15 institutions had constant return to scale,40 institutions had increasing return to scale,and 15 institutions had decreasing return to scale.The allocation of health resources in 7 cities,including Taiyuan,Datong,and Shuozhou,etc.were DEA-strongly efficient;Changzhi and Jincheng were DEA-weakly efficient,both with increasing return to scale;and Linfen was non-DEA efficient with increasing return to scale.Conclusion:The efficiency of health resource allocation in some municipalities of Shanxi needs to be improved;the level of inter-organization varied,and the problems of insufficient resources and wasted inputs coexisted.In the future,ophthalmic resources should be rationally allocated,and input and output indicators should be adjusted according to the actual situation.
