The new adoption of healthcare information technology is costly, and effects on healthcare performance can be questionable. This nationwide study in China investigated the efficient performance of healthcare information technology and examined its spatial correlation. Panel data were extracted from the Annual Investigation Report on Hospital Information in China and the China Health Statistics Yearbook for 2007 through 2015 (279 observations). Stochastic frontier analysis was employed to estimate the technical efficiency of healthcare information technology performance and related factors at the regional level. Healthcare information technology performance was positively associated with electronic medical records, total input, and cost of inpatient stay, while picture archiving and communication systems and net assets were negatively related. Local Indicators of Spatial Association showed that there existed significant spatial autocorrelation. Governmental policies would best make distinctions among different forms of healthcare information technology, especially between electronic medical records and picture archiving and communication systems. Policies should be formulated to improve healthcare information technology adoption and reduce regional differences.

“…With regard to comparison among methodological approaches area, the authors have included articles that have made a comparison among different econometrics approaches to determine the e ciency scores in the healthcare sector. Some authors have explored the comparison between Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) [49,22,152], others have examined the comparison between DEA and Goal Programming (GP) and DEA and Regression Analysis (RA), preferring DEA + GP [55]. Furthermore, others have shown the comparison between DEA and Order-m [53] or DEA and Balanced Scorecard [118], and nally, some authors have displayed other types of combinations [124,4,25].…”

Background Despite the great number of studies and interests in this field, research in this area is still scarce, and some aspects don’t emerge. For this reason, it is important to conduct an international healthcare system debate by showing the findings of SLR putting attention to healthcare efficiency, and organizing the articles in a more systematic and holistic way.Methods The present study provides a comprehensive structured literature review (SLR) of the papers dealing with efficiency in the healthcare sector from an international perspective. For this purpose, this study examines articles published in journals until 2023, by extracting crucial insights about healthcare efficiency, in terms of structures and services.Results A sample of 292 articles extracted from Scopus is preliminarily submitted for bibliometric analysis, then 126 articles are examined with bibliographic coupling and content analysis to identify the different areas of topic categorizations. In light of this, the study through the PRISMA framework and, then the content analysis provides the areas most affected by academic literature, and consequentially, the areas that have not yet been explored systematically.Conclusions Due to this, the research agenda underlines the unexplored areas and lays the foundation for future academic studies.

“…Both techniques can distinguish among inefficient hospitals [ 52 ]. Regarding the paragraphs mentioned above and the research scope, the selection of multi-inputs and multi-outputs was adopted for the SFA translog formula, which has been applied in [ 74 ]. They applied these two approaches to evaluate the efficiency of the US 1471 hospitals and showed the Baumol effect once hospitals’ effectiveness declined with the trend of the labour costs soar gradually.…”

A Novel Hybrid Parametric and Non-Parametric Optimisation Model for Average Technical Efficiency Assessment in Public Hospitals during and Post-COVID-19 Pandemic

et al. 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on hospitals and healthcare systems around the world. The cost of business disruption combined with lingering COVID-19 costs has placed many public hospitals on a course to insolvency. To quickly return to financial stability, hospitals should implement efficiency measure. An average technical efficiency (ATE) model made up of data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) for assessing efficiency in public hospitals during and after the COVID-19 pandemic is offered. The DEA method is a non-parametric method that requires no information other than the input and output quantities. SFA is a parametric method that considers stochastic noise in data and allows statistical testing of hypotheses about production structure and degree of inefficiency. The rationale for using these two competing approaches is to balance each method’s strengths, weaknesses and introduce a novel integrated approach. To show the applicability and efficacy of the proposed hybrid VRS-CRS-SFA (VCS) model, a case study is presented.
