本研究運用資料包絡分析法(Data Envelopment Analysis;簡稱DEA),針對臺北市衛生局所屬五家市立綜合醫院為研究對象,利用七十九至八十一年三個會計年度的資料,衡量其經營效率。我們將醫院每年的資料當成一個決策單位(Decision Making Unit,簡稱DMU),研究結果顯示:15個DMUs中有9個為相對效率欠佳,其中3個DMUs未能充分利用投入要素而致整體表現未達最佳境界,另有2個其經營規模亦未達最適之經營規模而影響其整體表現,其餘4個DMUs對於資源使用及經營規模皆有缺失,則應同時在技術及規模上作改善或調整,方能達到最佳效率境界。
This study utilized Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to assess the performance of 5 Taipei City General Hospitals from fiscal year 1990 to 1992. A hospital in each year was treated as a decision making unit (DMU) in this study. The study found that 9 out of 15 DMUs were relatively efficient. Three inefficient DMUs were affected by their technical inefficiency; in other words, these DMUs did not utilize their given inputs efficiently. Another 2 inefficient DMUs were due to their scale inefficiency; in other words, these DMUs needed to increase or decrease their operating scale in order to reach relative efficiency. The remaining 4 DMUs needed to improve their input utilization and to adjust their operating scale simultaneously.
