Evaluation of Hospitals and Health Care Centers with Ratio Data

One of the most important topics in healthcare management is the performance evaluation of hospitals and healthcare centers. This work is done with different models of decision analysis and after determining the evaluation criteria. One of the most up-to-date and widely used ways to evaluate performance is the use of non-parametric models such as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). In many evaluations, after determining the criteria and specifying the inputs and outputs for using DEA models, we are faced with ratio data. Traditional DEA models are not suitable models for handling this type of data, and it is necessary to use DEA models to handle this type of data. In this research, after examining some ratio criteria for evaluating public hospitals and health centers, DEA-R models are presented to handle these data both in cases of non-negative data and negative data.
