Summary
"One of the most pressing problems in today's health care system is performance evaluation. Performance evaluation in health care goes well beyond financial and efficiency issues related directly to matters of life and death. Health Care Benchmarking and Performance Evaluation applies the analytical framework of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology to provide health care administrators with specific benchmarking tools for performance evaluation. Most importantly, the book provides health care practitioners and administrators with information on what is lacking in specific aspects of performance and then outlines the ways these performance inadequacies can be improved."--BOOK JACKET.
