Example 9.1
Nurses in Unit A worked collectively a total of 25 hours to
treat a patient who stayed 5 days, and nurses in Unit B
worked a total of 16 hours to treat a patient who stayed 4
days. Calculate which of the two similar hospital nursing
units is more productive.
Solution:
First, define the inputs and the outputs for the analysis. Is
the proper measure of inputs the number of nurses or of
hours worked? In this case the definition of the input would
be total nursing hours. When the total number of nursing
hours worked per nurse is used as the input measure, then
the productivity measures for the two units are:

Solution:
In this case, total unadjusted volume is simply the sum of the volume for each service
in each hospital, or Unadjusted Volume = X1 + X2.

Efficiency-- relationship
between various inputs and related
outputs; use minimum combination
of resources for a given level of
quantity or level of care.
Allocative (Economic) efficiency- adds cost to the measure of
technical efficiency.

envelopment analysis is a
recently developed technique that
can be used to measure the
multiple dimensions of
productivity.
It allows multiple inputs and
outputs to be used in a linear
programming model that develops
a score of technical efficiency.
