병원도산분석에 기초한 효율적인 병원지원방안에 관한 연구 = Policy Direction for Subsidizing Hospitals based on Technical Efficiency

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study used the Data Envelopment Analysis, a mathematical linear programming method, to evaluate cost efficiency of hospitals in Korea. DEA method was applied to 244 hospitals : 31 bankrupt hospitals and 213 survived hospitals. Among the 213 sound hospitals, 11 hospitals showed efficiency score 100, but more than 40 hospitals recorded efficiency scores lower than 60. This result implies that more hospitals can be bankrupt in the restructuring process of the industry within 1-2 years. Among the 31 bankrupt hospitals, the highest technical efficiency score was 0.821 and 11 hospitals showed technical efficiency lower than 0.6. This implies that selective financial support based on cost efficiency by the government will be valuable to prevent bankruptcy of these hospitals. The logistic analysis showed statistically significant relationship between bankruptcy and efficiency of hospitals in Korea.
