Abstract: Previous studies have mostly focused on the operation management efficiency of medical institutions, but the efficiency levels of treatment and medical personnel are rarely considered simultaneously. Therefore, this paper uses the Modified Undesirable Meta‐two‐stage Dynamic data envelopment analysis (DEA) model to evaluate the efficiency of the administration and the treatment stage of 31 provincial medical and health institutions in China. The research results are as follows: (1) the group average efficiency of the high GDP region is better than the low GDP region after dynamic intertemporal impacts, and (2) most of region's administration stage efficiency is superior to the treatment stage efficiency.
