Abstract:Objective To assess the efficiency of tertiary general hospitals with data envelopment analysis(DEA), and to find the causes of inefficiency, so as to provide reference for policy makers. Methods DEA model was built by data from 23 tertiary general hospitals (14 grade A tertiary hospitals and 9 other tertiary hospitals) in a city.Results The average of total technical efficiency of these 23 hospitals was 0.862, and overall efficiency was high. The average of total technical efficiency of 4 of 14 grade A tertiary hospitals was 0.919, while only one other tertiary hospital was efficiency in total, and the average of total technical efficiency was 0.773. Spearman coefficient of association of total technical efficiency with average hospital stay, average diagnose and treatment numbers per doctor, average income per bed ranged from 0.649 to 0.781 (P<0.01).Conclusion Although overall efficiency of 23 tertiary general hospitals is high in a city, it has low efficiency in these hospitals. Efficiency of grade A tertiary hospitals is higher than that of other tertiary hospitals. DEA efficiency has correlation with conventional efficiency.
