"This new edition continues to emphasize the use of data envelopment analysis (DEA) to create optimization-based benchmarks within hospitals, physician group practices, health maintenance organizations, nursing homes, and other health care delivery organizations. Suitable for graduate students learning DEA applications in health care as well as for practicing administrators, it is divided into two sections covering methods and applications. Section I considers efficiency evaluations using DEA; returns to scale; weight restricted (multiplier) models; non-oriented or slack-based models, including in this edition two versions of non-controllable variable models and categorical variable models; longitudinal (panel) evaluations; and the effectiveness dimension of performance evaluation. A new chapter then looks at new and advanced models of DEA, including super-efficiency, congestion DEA, network DEA, and dynamic network models. Mathematical formulations of various DEA models are placed in end-of-chapter appendices. Section II then looks at health care applications within particular settings, chapter-by-chapter, including hospitals, physician practices, nursing homes, and health maintenance organizations (HMOs). Other chapters then explore home health care and home health agencies; dialysis centers, community mental health centers, community-based your services, organ procurement organizations, aging agencies, and dental providers; DEA models to evaluate provider performance for specific treatments, including stroke, mechanical ventilation, and perioperative services. A new chapter then examines international-country-based applications of DEA in health care in 16 different countries, along with OECD and multi-country studies. Most of the existing chapters in this section were expanded with recent applications. Included with the book is online access to a learning version of DEA Solver software, written by Professor Kaoru Tone, which can solve up to 50 DMUs for various DEA models listed in the User's Guide at the end of the book"--Provided by publisher Front Matter....Pages i-xxviii Front Matter....Pages 1-1 Evaluation of Performance in Health Care....Pages 3-14 Performance Measurement Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)....Pages 15-47 Returns to Scale Models....Pages 49-64 Weight Restricted (Multiplier) Models....Pages 65-76 Non-oriented and Measure Specific Models....Pages 77-92 Longitudinal (Panel) Evaluations Using DEA....Pages 93-107 Effectiveness Dimension of Performance....Pages 109-119 Advanced DEA Models....Pages 121-137 Front Matter....Pages 139-139 Hospital Applications....Pages 141-163 Physician Practice and Disease-Specific Applications....Pages 165-189 Nursing Home Applications....Pages 191-203 Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Applications....Pages 205-208 Home Health Agency Applications....Pages 209-218 Applications for Other Health Care Organizations....Pages 219-238 Other DEA Applications in Hospital Settings....Pages 239-264 International Country-Based DEA Health Studies....Pages 265-289 Back Matter....Pages 291-329
