Abstract:

Introduction:   Today, there isgap between the potential of the health system and its current performance, which justifies the need to a performance appraisal model for the health sector. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive performance evaluation model for assessing the performance of hospitals. Methods:   For this purpose, 12 hospitals under the supervision of Tehran University of Medical Sciences have been selected as a case study. The fuzzy best-worst method was used to identify the criteria for assessing hospital performance based on expert opinions. The productivity of each hospital unit was calculated using the established criteria. The data research from the Tehran University of Medical Sciences statistical yearbook were collected during the years 2012 to 2016. The present study is applied in terms of purpose and based on the nature of the data, it is a quantitative research based on mathematical planning. This research was conducted in 1398 and was conducted in GAMS software. Results:   The results show that Farabi Hospital, Roozbeh Psychiatry and Baharlo Hospital have the highest levels of efficacy, respectively and Arash Hospital, Farabi Hospital and Ziaeean Hospital have the highest rate of Effectiveness, respectively and Farabi Hospital, Arash Hospital and Ziaeean Hospital have the highest rates of Productivity during the Study period, respectively. Conclusion:   Also the efficiency, effectiveness, and productivity scores of most hospitals fluctuated and did not have a growing trend. This indicates that although most hospitals sought to improve the quality of their services, they needed to take more serious steps.

A Hybrid model based on neural network and Data Envelopment Analysis model for Evaluation of unit Performance

Efficiency and evaluation is one of the main and most important demands of organizations, companies and institutions. As these organizations deal with a large amount of data, therefore, it is necessary to evaluate them on the basis of scientific methods to improve their efficiency. Data envelopment analysis is a suitable method for measuring the efficiency and performance of organizations. This...

A new approach based on alpha cuts for solving data envelopment analysis model with fuzzy stochastic inputs and outputs

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a widely used technique for measuring the relative efficiencies of homogenous Decision Making Units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. These factors may be evaluated in fuzzy or stochastic environment. Hence, the classic structures of DEA model may be changed where in two fold fuzzy stochastic environment. For instances, linearity, feasibility a...

Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis for Classification of Streaming Data

The classification of fuzzy uncertain data is considered one of the most challenging issues in data analysis. In spite of the significance of fuzzy data in mathematical programming, the development of the analytical methods of fuzzy data is slow. Therefore, the current study proposes a new fuzzy data classification method based on fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA) which can handle strea...
