Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the scientific research efficiency and its change in a tertiary hospital, provide recommendations for improvement based on evaluation findings.Methods:We evaluated the scientific research efficiency of 35 disciplines in a tertiary hospital from 2015 to 2017 with BCC model of Data Envelopment Analysis and Malmquist index.Results:The number of DEA valid disciplines was 10, 16, 10 respectively. The average efficiency value from 2015 to 2017 of internal medicine, surgery department and supportive department was 0.62, 0.71, 0.74. The Total Factor Productivity of 2017, compared with 2015, was 1.30, which was mainly attributed to increase of Pure Technical Efficiency. There were 23 disciplines which efficiency increased and 12 disciplines which efficiency decreased.Conclusions:The scientific research efficiency of the tertiary hospital showed a rising trend. The efficiency of disciplines varied largely. For disciplines of DEA invalid or with downward trend, it is important to improve efficiency by improving management, cultivating talents, improving technology and increasing scientific output, and so on.
