Abstract

The effective and efficient operation of public healthcare systems is more and more important as a consequence of the increasing amount of money spent on their operation. For this reason, accurate and science-based efficiency information is needed for managers and healthcare policy makers. The evaluation of the efficiency in this sector is particularly difficult because several measures and indicators are used. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) can provide aggregate and overall measures of efficiency. The purpose of this paper is the examination of the efficiency of in-patient rehabilitation units curing musculoskeletal disorders in Hungary. The research presented focuses on rehabilitation units which attend to patients recovering from stroke or other acquired brain injuries. Output-oriented, slack-based DEA models are applied for the evaluation of in-patient rehabilitation units using data of a national survey. The novelty of the method presented is the consideration of the change in patients' functional status when efficiency is evaluated using DEA.

患者健康状况对效率的影响分析:数据包络分析在医疗保健中的应用。
由于公共医疗系统的运行花费越来越多,因此有效和高效的运行变得越来越重要。因此,管理人员和医疗保健政策制定者需要准确和基于科学的效率信息。评价这一部门的效率特别困难,因为使用了几种措施和指标。数据包络分析(DEA)可以提供总体和总体的效率度量。本文的目的是检查匈牙利的住院康复单位治疗肌肉骨骼疾病的效率。研究提出的重点是康复单位,参加病人从中风或其他获得性脑损伤恢复。采用一项全国调查数据,应用产出导向、基于松弛的DEA模型对住院康复单位进行评价。该方法的新颖之处在于在使用DEA评估效率时考虑了患者功能状态的变化。

期刊介绍: Health Services Management Research (HSMR) is an authoritative international peer-reviewed journal which publishes theoretically and empirically rigorous research on questions of enduring interest to health-care organizations and systems throughout the world. Examining the real issues confronting health services management, it provides an independent view and cutting edge evidence-based research to guide policy-making and management decision-making. HSMR aims to be a forum serving an international community of academics and researchers on the one hand and healthcare managers, executives, policymakers and clinicians and all health professionals on the other. HSMR wants to make a substantial contribution to both research and managerial practice, with particular emphasis placed on publishing studies which offer actionable findings and on promoting knowledge mobilisation toward theoretical advances.
