Veri Zarflama Analizi ile Türkiye’deki Kamu Hastanelerinin Teknik Etkinliğinin Ölçülmesi

Abstract

Çalışmada, veri zarflama analizi ile Türkiye’nin 81 ilindeki 1533 kamu hastanesinin performans ve etkinlik düzeyleri belirlenerek işletmenin etkinliğini artırmak hedeflenmiş, ayrıca hastanelerde aksamalara neden olan birimlerin sorunları belirlenerek çözüm önerileriyle bu sorunları düzeltmek amaçlanmaktadır. Uygulama yapılan sağlık işletmelerinden elde edilen veriler kontrolden geçirilecek etkinlik dereceleri değerlendirilmiş ve analiz sonuçları elde edilmiştir. Çalışmadan elde edilen bu sonuçlar, uygulamanın yapıldığı hastanelerin etkinliği artırmak veya eksikliklerinin giderilmesi için yapılacak iyileştirme çalışmalarında kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, 81 ilde faaliyet gösteren ve benzer sağlık hizmetleri sunan 1533 hastanenin teknik etkinliği veri zarflama analizi ile ölçülmüş ve bu hastanelerden 36 ilde bulunan 775 tanesinin etkin olarak çalıştığı, 45 ilde bulunan 758 hastanenin de etkin olarak çalışmadığı belirlenmiştir.

Using Data Envelopment Analysis to Measure the Technical Efficiency of Public Hospitals in Turkey

Abstract

In the study, it was targeted to increase the efficiency of business by identifying the performance and efficiency levels of 1533 public hospitals in 81 provinces of Turkey by means of data envelopment analysis and, in addition to this, identifying the problems of units causing disruptions; it was aimed to sort out these problems by suggesting solutions. The data obtained from health businesses, in which application was performed, were checked; their efficiency degrees were assessed; and analysis results were obtained. These results obtained from the study were used in the improvement studies that are going to be carried out to increase the efficiency of or remove the deficiencies of hospitals, in which application is performed. According to the results obtained, the technical efficiencies of 1533 businesses being active in 81 provinces and presenting similar health services were measured by means of data envelopment analysis and it was identified that 775 of these hospitals that are present in 36 provinces worked efficiently, and that 758 of them that are present in 45 provinces did not work efficiently.
