Evaluating the operational efficiency of the compact urban medical group in Qiqihar based on the three-stage DEA and Malmquist index model by Ye Xing, Chong Tian, Jiayu Wang, Yanting Liu, Jun Tao, Taoyu Lin, Yan Zhou, Yan Zhou, Yue Wang, Xue Bai

“…BackgroundSince the establishment of medical alliances, a key issue regarding their ability to better address the imbalance in China’s medical resources lies in the changes in operational efficiency before and after their formation. This study focuses on urban medical groups, a reform model of medical alliances, and systematically analyzes the changes in operational efficiency before and after the group-based reform, aiming to provide empirical evidence for improving the group-based management model.MethodsThis study employs a dual-method framework combining three-stage DEA for static efficiency evaluation and Malmquist index analysis for dynamic assessment. …”
