How efficient are referral hospitals in Uganda? A data envelopment analysis and tobit regression approach
BACKGROUND Hospitals represent a significant proportion of health expenditures in Uganda, accounting for about 26 % of total health expenditure. Improving the technical efficiency of hospitals in Uganda can result in large savings which can be devoted to expand access to services and improve quality of care. This paper explores the technical efficiency of referral hospitals in Uganda during the...

متن کاملAn improved approach to find and rank BCC-efficient DMUs in data envelopment analysis (DEA)
Recently, a mixed integer data envelopment analysis (DEA) model has been proposed to find the most BCC-efficient (or the best) decision making unit (DMU) by Toloo (2012). This paper shows that the model may be infeasible in some cases, and when the model is feasible, it may fail to identify the most efficient DMU, correctly. We develop an improved model to find the most BCC-efficient DMU that r...
متن کاملSelecting Energy Efficient Poultry Egg Producers: A Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis Approach
This study examined the energy use pattern of poultry for egg production farms of Iran and ranked the selected farmers using fuzzy data envelopment analysis (FDEA) from the viewpoint of energy efficiency. Since data used in our study were not measured precisely, fuzzy forms of them could help us to reach the ideal situations. Hence, the conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) was remod...
متن کاملEfficient location by using data envelopment analysis
So far, many types of location models have been developed to find optimal spatial patterns according to different spatial metrics such as cost, coverage and availability. The initial focus of these models is on the location availability of service providers and demand estimates, and some of these models are within the framework of multi-objective programming models. After the advent of scienc...
