Abstract: Purpose: This study is aimed at measuring the efficiency of 37 OECD countries for 2020 using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method. Besides, it is aimed at ranking the efficient decision making units by using the super-efficiency DEA model. Design/methodology/approach: In the study, analyses were carried out with input-oriented Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (CCR), input-oriented Banker, Charnes and Cooper (BCC) models and super-efficiency models of these models by using 4 inputs and 3 outputs. Findings: As a result of the analysis, 14 countries in the CCR model and 20 countries in the BCC model were efficient. According to the results of the super-efficiency models, the efficient countries were ranked. Research limitations/implications: The limitations of the study are the analyses are based on input-oriented DEA models and the research was conducted in OECD countries. Originality/value: Performance evaluation of health systems has gained importance in recent years. Many countries are making efforts to improve their health systems. Due to epidemics such as COVID-19, OECD countries, like many countries around the world, have increased the share of health expenditures in GDP. Because of this situation, the evaluation of the performance of OECD countries in the field of health has emerged as a very important research topic.
