- ItemThe Application of Data Envelopment Analysis for Evaluation of Efficiency of Healthcare Delivery for CVD Patients(Technická Univerzita v Liberci, ) Kočišová, Kristína; Cygańska, Małgorzata; Kludacz-Alessandri, Magdalena; Ekonomická fakultaThe focus placed on the effi ciency of the healthcare system can vary across the countries. This paper aims to analyse and compare the technical effi ciency of medical care for CVD patients across selected OECD countries using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method according to two models. The fi rst model (TE) incorporates the quantitative outputs that are connected with the quantity of the hospital outcomes (the number of surgical operations and procedures related to disease of the circulatory system per 100,000 inhabitants; hospital discharge rates for in-patients with diseases of the circulatory system). The second model (QE) includes the quality outputs that are connected with the health outcomes (survival rates of patients with diseases of the circulatory system). A number of cardiologists and angiography equipment per 100,000 inhabitants and total healthcare costs of CVD patients per 100,000 inhabitants were considered as inputs in both models. Secondly, we analyse whether endogenous (institutional arrangements) and exogenous (population behaviour, economic determinants) factors are associated with the effi ciency of medical care. We utilise Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to calculate the effi ciency of medical care for CVD patients in selected OECD countries and establish healthcare systems’ rankings according to TE and effi cient healthcare delivery for CVD patients. The study found that the technically effi cient countries were not as far effi cient when the quality measure was used to calculation of effi ciency. On the other hand, some of the technically ineffi cient countries were performing well concerning effi ciency based on a quality measure.
- ItemVyužívanie platobných kariet a efektívnosť bánk(Technická Univerzita v Liberci, ) Kočišová, Kristína; Ekonomická fakultaThe dynamic development of the use of credit cards there in recent years in all EU Member States, as evidenced by the growth of ATM, EFTPOS terminals, and the value of payments made by them. The aim of this paper was to analyse whether the development of the use of payment cards have a positive impact on the efficiency of the EU banking sector measured by DEA models. The starting point was the status of selected variables (number of ATM and EFTPOS terminals, total assets to a credit institution, the value of payments made via ATM and EFTPOS terminals per capita, the value of deposits and loans) in the banking sectors of the 27 EU countries in 2001 and 2011. Considered variables in these years became the basis for evaluating the effectiveness by CCR and BCC input oriented model. Calculation of the efficiency score was found to Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Italy, Malta, Poland and Slovakia were positively influenced by the use of credit cards. For these countries, the percentage increase in the number of ATMs and terminals exceeded the percentage increase in the value of payments made, which resulted in the growth of efficiency score in those countries. On the other hand, in countries such as Bulgaria, Romania, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, there is a decrease in efficiency due to higher growth in the number of ATM and terminals, compared with the growth rate of the value of payments made by them. In the group of analysed countries, there were the countries with such a structure of input and output parameters in both years were able to maintain the effectiveness (Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, and United Kingdom). DEA analysis results confirm the assumption that if an increasing number of devices aren’t supported by the use of the clients, it will have the negative impact of the banking sector in the form of lost efficiency. The results of the correlation and regression analysis confirmed a significant impact of parameters (number of ATM and terminals; values of payments) to achieved efficiency.
