Chapter Chapter 16 in Health Care Benchmarking and Performance Evaluation, 2014, pp 265-289 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we focus on specific data envelopment analysis (DEA) studies that considered either unique evaluations for a country or applied new methods to evaluate performance outcomes after dramatic health care reforms. Of the 17 countries we examine below, almost half of them had significant health care reforms during the past decade. These countries include: Austria, Brazil, Germany, Norway, Portugal, Thailand, and Turkey. There are many DEA studies being conducted in these and other various countries; some represent replication of already known methodologies, yet others provide a unique perspective in their evaluations. We will summarize the key aspects of these DEA country-based applications in alphabetical order by country. The reader should keep in mind that these are an interesting sample of studies among other DEA studies conducted in selected countries, and the discussions below does not represent an exhaustive set of either the studies or the countries.
