Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the technical efficiency of gynecology and obstetrics hospitals, located in public and private sectors in Turkey. Research data belongs to 2014 and is obtained from Department of Statistics, Analysis and Information Systems of Ministry of Health. The scope of the study constitutes of totally 40 gynecology and obstetrics hospitals, including 11 private and 29 public hospitals. Analyzes were conducted by using 3 input (physicians, nurses and beds) and 2 output (the number of outpatient and inpatients) variables. Data envelopment analysis was used for the data analysis. In the analysis, the average number of outpatient examination was found as three hundred thousand and the number of inpatients was twenty thousand. In addition, there were 72 nurses, 47 physicians and 181 registered number of beds per Gynecology and Obstetrics Hospitals in Turkey. The study states that 11 of 40 hospitals (6 public and 5 private hospitals) are efficient and 29 of 40 hospitals are found to be inefficient. According to the super efficiency scores, İstanbul Yakacık Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital had the highest scores (CRR:1.55/BCC:1.70). This research shows that health care resources were used inefficiently. These findings are valid for both public and private hospitals.
