Measuring the Efficiency of Quality Health Services in the Province of Karbala Models Using the Data Envelopment Analysis.

Abstract

The research aims to measure the efficiency of health services Quality in the province of Karbala, using the Data Envelopment analysis Models in (2006). According to these models the degree of efficiency ranging between zero and unity. We estimate Scale efficiency for two types of orientation direction, which are input and output oriented direction.

The results showed, according Input-oriented efficiency that the levels of Scale efficiency on average is (0.975), in the province of Karbala. While the index of Output-oriented efficiency on average is (o.946).
