Abstract:Objective To analyze the operation index data of public hospitals in Jiangsu Province, in order to provide insights for optimizing resource allocation and management of medical resources in public hospitals in Jiangsu Province.Methods Data envelopment analysis (DEA) was employed to assess the operational efficiency of second-level and above public hospitals in sub-cities of Jiangsu from 2015 to 2022.Results From 2015 to 2019, the technical efficiency, scale efficiency and comprehensive efficiency of public hospitals in Jiangsu Province were all 1, indicating that DEA was strong and effective, while the return to scale remained unchanged. From 2020 to 2022, except for 2021, when the technical efficiency was 1, the scores of technical efficiency, scale efficiency and comprehensive efficiency were less than 1, and in 3 years, the scale efficiency and comprehensive efficiency were not effective. Notably, Suzhou, Zhenjiang, and Suqian maintained a scale compensation coefficient of 1 from 2015 to 2022, while other areas experienced fluctuations in scale compensation.Conclusion The operational efficiency of public hospitals in Jiangsu Province varies over time and across regions, indicating uneven development. There is still room for optimizing the allocation of medical resources and scale among public hospitals in many cities.
