This paper reviews 57 studies with DEA applications in the healthcare industry to illustrate the integrated analysis of healthcare efficiency.Abstract:
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been used as a performance measurement tool in efficiency assessment of healthcare systems. However, over the years, researchers and health practitioners presented the theoretical and methodological limitations of DEA that limits the full view of healthcare efficiency. To address these limitations, a commonly used strategy is to integrate other statistical methods and techniques with DEA to provide better efficiency evaluation. This paper reviews 57 studies with DEA applications in the healthcare industry to illustrate the integrated analysis of healthcare efficiency. With DEA as the central method, regression models in conjunction with statistical tests are commonly used. Input-oriented radial DEA models using predominantly capacity-related inputs and activity-related outputs and following either constant return to scale or variable return to scale assumptions are mostly applied to measure healthcare efficiency.read more

A hybrid data envelopment analysis and game theory model for performance measurement in healthcare.
TL;DR: This study proposes a hybrid data envelopment analysis (DEA) and game theory model for measuring the performance and productivity in the healthcare centers and reveals useful information and insights on the efficiency levels of the regional healthcare centers.

Measuring the efficiency of the Portuguese public hospitals: A value modelled network data envelopment analysis with simulation
TL;DR: In this article, a slacks-based model was designed to measure the efficiency of the Portuguese secondary healthcare providers bearing in mind their internal services, where the absence of data regarding the connections between those services called for the additional use of a simulation method modelled with the judgements of a decision-maker.

Data envelopment analysis applications in primary health care: a systematic review.
TL;DR: Data envelopment analysis extends the scope of tools used to analyse primary care functioning and can support health economic analyses when assessing primary care efficiency, but further research is needed.

Being on the Productivity Frontier: Identifying “Triple Aim Performance” Hospitals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify about 20 triple aim performance hospitals in each year among U.S. acute care hospitals with at least 200 beds and examine factors that influence the probability of being a TAP hospital.

Measuring the efficiency of decision making units
TL;DR: A nonlinear (nonconvex) programming model provides a new definition of efficiency for use in evaluating activities of not-for-profit entities participating in public programs and methods for objectively determining weights by reference to the observational data for the multiple outputs and multiple inputs that characterize such programs.

Some Models for Estimating Technical and Scale Inefficiencies in Data Envelopment Analysis
TL;DR: The CCR ratio form introduced by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes, as part of their Data Envelopment Analysis approach, comprehends both technical and scale inefficiencies via the optimal value of the ratio form, as obtained directly from the data without requiring a priori specification of weights and/or explicit delineation of assumed functional forms of relations between inputs and outputs as mentioned in this paper.

Data Envelopment Analysis: A Comprehensive Text with Models, Applications, References and DEA-Solver Software
TL;DR: In this article, the basic CCR model and DEA models with restricted multipliers are discussed. But they do not consider the effect of non-discretionary and categorical variables.
