Resumen de Applying Data Envelopment Analysis to Evaluate Financial Leasing Performance of Medical Device Industry in China
When domestic medical care institutes are increasing and the government enhances the input, medical care institutes need to update and purchase new medical devices to enhance the medical service quality and level. High-end medical devices require a large amount of capital input. High purchase expenses for medical devices do not simply increase a hospital’s economic pressure, but would result in expensive costs for patients seeing doctors. How to reduce purchase costs for medical devices becomes a dilemma for medical care institutes. Delphi Method is utilized in this study to make the evaluation indicators of financial leasing performance of medical device industry in China. Based on the data of medical device industry announced in Shanghai, 12 medical device enterprises are sampled as the research objects in this study. Data Envelopment Analysis is further used for calculating individual relative indicator. With linear planning and according to the efficiency frontier constructed with actual observed value, the difference between individual observed value and efficiency boundary is regarded as the relative inefficiency to measure each organization’s efficiency. The research results show: (1) the best overall efficiency (1.00) of A Medical Instrument Co., Ltd., followed by L Medical Co., Ltd.0.98), and K Instrument Co., Ltd. the worst (0.70); (2) Malmquist is applied to analyze the efficiency to understand the efficiency change between two phases. Aiming at the financial leasing performance of medical device industry, the financial leasing is analyzed to provide directional thinking and reference for medical device industry.
