One of the most important and crucial issues for political and social reasons in Greece is the reorganization of the public sector health system--more precisely, the improvement of public hospital operations, both in terms of the resources they use and the quality and quantity of the services they provide. This study focuses on investigating the productivity performance of 10 clinics in a public hospital located in Thessaloniki. The methodology applied is the data envelopment analysis (DEA) to measure the Malmquist productivity index. The results indicated that the efficiency of the hospital clinics has improved. However, clinics' efficiency varies a lot from month to month. In a competitive environment, these differences need to be addressed, investigated and reduced in order to improve total efficiency.
出于政治和社会原因,希腊最重要且关键的问题之一是公共部门卫生系统的重组,更确切地说,是改善公立医院的运营,包括其使用的资源以及所提供服务的质量和数量。本研究着重调查塞萨洛尼基一家公立医院中10个科室的生产率表现。所采用的方法是数据包络分析(DEA)以衡量马尔姆奎斯特生产率指数。结果表明,医院科室的效率有所提高。然而,各科室的效率每月差异很大。在竞争环境中,需要解决、调查并减少这些差异,以提高整体效率。
