This study intends to focus on the physicians, and to examine the input-output relationships between the medical resources used by these physicians and the quantity of medical services provided by them, in order to analyze the productivity and efficiency of physicians. In addition, by applying the Malmquist productivity index, this study empirically evaluates how the quantities of each physician¡¦s medical inputs and service outputs affect productivity and efficiency, and uses panel data to analyze the sources of each physician¡¦s productivity and efficiency changes over the years.
