Assessing Healthcare Surgical Performance Using Data Envelopment Analysis Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Clinicians and hospital administrators rely on information models for healthcare management and decision-making. However, healthcare surgical performance measurements include both qualitative and quantitative data, often with conflicting and interdependent variables. As a result many statistical modeling approaches can break down with healthcare data. Other more resilient algorithms, such as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Fuzzy Composite Programming (FCP) hold promise to address these issues. This paper applies DEA to comprehensively assess the surgical performance. The results of the DEA model are compared to the results obtained from a prior fuzzy composite programming (FCP) analysis to establish additional validity.

This paper adopts a modified approach of data envelopment analysis (DEA) to measure the academic efficiency of university departments. In real-world case studies, conventional DEA models often identify too many decision-making units (DMUs) as efficient. This occurs when the number of DMUs under evaluation is not large enough compared to the total number of decision variables. To overcome this l...
