DEA를 이용한 의료기관의 효율성 벤치마킹

Efficiency Benchmarking of Hospitals Using DEA

This paper analyzes the technical efficiency of thirty two hospitals in Korea using DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis). DEA provides an efficiency measure for each hospital compared to the most efficient one. The amount and sources of inefficiency that are identified by the DEA are useful for benchmarking to improve efficiency. The results from multiple regression analysis and Wilcoxon Rank Sum test show that bed turnover, hospital size, and average length of stay are related to hospital efficiency.
