spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/5811 Measuring hospital efficiency using DEA an investigation into the relationship between scale and efficiency within the South African private hospital environment Linden, Andrew Actuarial Science Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references. This paper investigates the relationship between scale and efficiency through the application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to a set of South African private hospitals over the three year period from 2007 to 2009. As part of the investigation, this paper provides a description of the current research into scale and efficiency with a focus on definition and measurement. It also provides an introduction to DEA as a tool for measuring the relationship between hospital scale and efficiency. Based on the underlying set of private hospitals, this investigation found that scale efficiency improvements are likely to be possible. 2014-07-31T12:30:05Z 2014-07-31T12:30:05Z 2013 Master Thesis Masters MBusSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5811 eng application/pdf Division of Actuarial Science Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town
