Efficiency analysis of health resources allocation in public Chinese medicine hospitals based on data envelopment analysis / 国际中医中药杂志

ABSTRACT

By the means of stratified sampling survey, six provinces were selected from three regions in China, and the Chinese medicine health resources were evaluated and analyzed by data envelopment analysis (DEA) method in six provinces. The Jiangsu, Guangdong and Guizhou Provinces are in the effective state of DEA, which has been fully utilized in the input-output of TCM health resources, and has reached the best input-output combination. The Anhui, Henan, Gansu Provinces are in an effective state of non-DEA, and the input of health resources has not been fully utilized and the optimal scale of output has not been achieved. There are regional differences in health resources of TCM in public hospitals, and there is still room for further economic development. We hope that TCM service system can interconnect and optimize the regional allocation of TCM resources.
