Evaluating efficiency of English acute foundation trusts under system reform: a two-stage DEA approach

Configuration Analysis of Influencing Factors of Technical Efficiency Based on DEA and fsQCA: Evidence from China’s Medical and Health Institutions

“…In terms of the research of hospital efficiency in high-income countries, DEA and second-stage regression analysis was commonly used. Thai and Noguchi (2019) argued that better management of patient flow and bed utilization might be expected to improve hospital efficiency during the institutional reform of the English health-care sector. 6 Besides, Hunt and Link (2020) used a two-stage semi-parametric DEA to conclude that in areas with high per capita public health expenditure, the efficiency of hospitals can be improved, and medical expenses can be reduced.…”

“…The use of this method will help companies provide more specific innovation and efficiency improvement programs. Therefore, this study adopts the fsQCA method to test how the five external environmental explanatory factors, including urban population density, 16 regional GDP, 19,20 and total dependency ratio, 6 fatality rate, 21 and financial allocation, 22,23 can affect and interact with the operational efficiency of medical and health institutions.…”

“…Scholars evaluate hospital efficiency and propose improvement measures to help governments optimize the allocation of medical and health resources. [3][4][5][6][7] It is noteworthy, however, that the current literature on medical and health institutions still lacks a systematic and integrated approach to analyze the influences of the policy and external institutional environment on the operating efficiency, and explain the internal logic and path for the medical and health institutions to achieve the high operating efficiency from the perspective of configuration.…”

Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación en Salud: Análisis de Componentes Principales en la evaluación del desempeño competitivo

“…Para [3] y [4] la ejecución de una acertada estrategia de investigación e innovación debe incluir necesariamente los elementos en los que se basa la cuarta revolución que se está llevando a cabo en el ámbito industrial. Relacionado con la Cuarta Revolución Industrial, se ha demostrado en varios estudios como los realizados por [5]- [7], que la incorporación S de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC), como área de conocimiento en la cual encausar las innovaciones e investigaciones, han constituido puntos clave en la elevación del desempeño competitivo de las empresas en diversos sectores económicos a nivel mundial.…”
