New efficiency model revolutionizes performance evaluation in medical centers.
The article discusses a method to evaluate how well different organizations are using their resources efficiently. The researchers created a model that looks at the ratios of inputs to outputs, like employees to students or assets to liabilities. They compared the efficiency values of this model to a traditional method. By studying 22 medical centers, they found a way to measure their overall efficiency in treating special patients. The results show how well these centers are performing and suggest a new model for future research in this area.
