Measuring and Benchmarking Technical Efficiency of Public Hospitals in Tianjin, China

China has long been stuck in applying traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) models to measure technical efficiency of public hospitals without bias correction of efficiency scores. In this article, we have introduced the Bootstrap-DEA approach from the international literature to analyze the technical efficiency of public hospitals in Tianjin (China) and tried to improve the application o...

Benchmarking and DEA: how to teach to and to learn from relative technical efficiency models

Introduction: Information transfer is critical in evaluating the efficiency of health and social care systems. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a useful tool to evaluate technical efficiency when a range of comparable decision making units (DMU) are involved in an uncertain system. DEA models, based on expert knowledge, must be carefully fitted to represent the framework under study. Theory a...
