The purpose of this research is to develop an evaluation tool to assess performance of Emergency Physicians according to such criteria as resource utilization, patient throughput and the quality of care. Evaluation is conducted using a mathematical programming model known as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Use of this model does not require the subjective assignment of weights associated with each criterion - a feature typical of methodologies that rely on composite scores. The DEA model presented in this paper was developed using a hypothetical data set describing a representative set of profiles of Emergency Physicians. The solution to the model relates the performance of each Emergency Physician in relation to the others and to a benchmark. We discuss how such an evaluation tool can be used in practice.
本研究的目的是开发一种评估工具,以根据资源利用、患者流量和护理质量等标准评估急诊医生的表现。使用一种称为数据包络分析(DEA)的数学规划模型进行评估。使用该模型不需要主观分配与每个标准相关的权重,这是依赖综合评分的方法的典型特征。本文提出的DEA模型是使用描述急诊医生代表性概况集的假设数据集开发的。该模型的解决方案将每位急诊医生的表现与其他医生以及一个基准进行关联。我们讨论了这样一种评估工具在实践中如何使用。
