Health Care System Efficiency Analysis Of G12 Countries

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

Data Envelopment analysis of the health care delivery system of G12 nations is presented here. Japan and Spain scored the highest and the US, the lowest level of relative efficiencies. Health care outputs are life expectancy and infant mortality. Inputs are per capita health care expenditure; population adjusted physicians, hospital beds, and MRI; and a proxy for the level of education. DEA tests are applied for the 1991-1995 period using both CCR and BCC models. The paper argues that the lack of universal health care coverage and a single payer system are among the problems that the United States needs to address in order to improve its health care delivery.
