Abstract

Este estudio utiliza el Indicador de Luenberger para evaluar la eficiencia y productividad de los hospitales públicos en Colombia. El análisis empírico se realizó para una muestra de 336 hospitales durante el periodo 2003-2011. Los resultados indican una caída de la productividad de los hospitales públicos colombianos, sustentada en el deterioro del cambio tecnológico como resultado de una escasa inversión en tecnología. Evidencia de esto es que solo uno de cada veinticinco hospitales experimentó un desempeño eficiente y productivo, mientras uno de cada tres evidenció lo contrario. Por regiones, los hospitales de las zonas Central y Caribe fueron los más ineficientes e improductivos. Además, contribuyeron con dos terceras partes de la disminución de la productividad general.
