Stanislav Sendek
The paper applies the Data Envelopment Analysis as a deterministic non-parametric method based on the linear programming, to measure the efficiency of Slovak hospitals based on input and output performance. Managing physician or hospital practice patterns is an important tool to reduce health care costs. State-run hospitals, as decision-making units working in an operating healthcare system of the country, might have some excess resources in the process of providing care. It is also e-health tools which might contribute to the cost containment in them, enhancing finally the quality of patient care in the overall assessment.
