Abstract :
An increasing attention has been paid to efficiency analysis in the health care area. Among the existing efficiency assessment techniques, data envelopment analysis (DEA) plays an important role in a wide range of applications as for measuring the relative efficiency of different health care sectors. This paper focuses on a second stage of the analysis, which is operated after efficiency evaluation and called as post-DEA stage, and mainly cope with the budget management problems such as budget allocation and budget prediction. In the post-DEA stage, a comprehensive DEA based techniques are adopted to make the budget prediction and allocation based on the outcome of the first stage. A framework of budget management from macro aspect is built, together with corresponding resource allocation and prediction models proposed from micro aspect. The effect of the post-DEA method is illustrated by a numerical example with considering 10 hospitals, and with considering elasticity in post-DEA method, the outcome leads to an efficiency incentive effect in budget management.
