Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the Scientific Research Efficiency in A Tertiary Hospital, and provide recommendations for further improvement based on evaluation results.Methods:We evaluated the scientific research efficiency of 35 disciplines in a Tertiary Hospital from 2015 to 2017 with Slack Based Measure based Data envelopment analysis(DEA).Results:The average efficiency value from 2015 to 2017 is 0.44-0.65.The efficiency of Scientific Research from high to low was: supportive department, surgery department, internal medicine.There are 13 disciplines (37.14%) which efficiency increases gradually and 7 discipline (20%) which efficiency decreases.9 disciplines are DEA valid (efficiency=1) for at least 2 years and 9 is DEA invalid (efficiency<1) in three years.The average slack variable of researchers is 18.6 while average slack variable of input scientific research fund is 23.38 million RMB.Conclusions:The average efficiency of the tertiary hospital shows a rising trend.However, the efficiency of disciplines varies largely.For DEA invalid disciplines, it is important to improve efficiency by increasing output and improving efficiency of scientific research funding.
