Štefko, Róbert Efficiency measurement in healthcare work management using Malmquist indices / Štefko R., Gavurová B., Koróny S. -- © 2016, Czestochowa University of Technology. All rights reserved.Healthcare management is a very complex problem in each country. There are different conditions as well as economic, health and social bonds in the countries, while a constant emphasis on healthcare system efficiency is the common feature in each country. Specific and current field of healthcare is day surgery. It is less costly and its savings are in the most of rationally functioning economic systems used for financing more complex surgeries. The paper reflects on the above-mentioned aspects and its primary aim is to evaluate the day surgery efficiency during 2009 – 2013 by applying Malmquist indices. So the object of our case study is group of day surgery facilities in Slovak regions. The subject is dynamic data envelopment analysis on basis of Malmquist indices. Results of our case study offer valuable information for health and social policies’ managers, and especially for setting up stabilization and regulation mechanisms in a process of healthcare system development in Slovakia.
