 Performance Measurement Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)Yasar A. Ozcan
Chapter Chapter 2 in Health Care Benchmarking and Performance Evaluation, 2014, pp 15-47 from Springer Abstract: Abstract The 1980s brought many challenges to hospitals as they attempted to improve the efficiency of health care delivery through the fixed pricing mechanism of Diagnostic Related Groupings (DRGs). In the 1990s, the federal government extended the fixed pricing mechanism to physicians’ services through Resource-Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS). Enacted more recently, the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (HVPB) program demands higher performance and quality of care and reduces payments for those providers that cannot achieve certain performance levels. Although these pricing mechanisms attempted to influence the utilization and quality of services by controlling the amount paid to hospitals and professionals, effective cost control must also be accompanied by a greater understanding of variation in physician practice behavior and development of treatment protocols for various diseases.
