This study presents a comprehensive method for quantifying hospital output and estimating hospital productivity. A number of less comprehensive productivity measures that can be quantified from data available from regional third-party payers and from the American Hospital Association are also developed and evaluated as proxies for the comprehensive measure, which is based on local area data. Methods are discussed for estimating the necessary variables on a regional or national level.
本研究提出了一种用于量化医院产出和估算医院生产率的综合方法。还开发并评估了一些不太全面的生产率指标,这些指标可根据区域第三方支付方和美国医院协会提供的数据进行量化,作为基于当地数据的综合指标的替代指标。文中讨论了在区域或国家层面估算所需变量的方法。
