Abstract

Monitoring performance over time is essential in health care organizations. There are often major policy changes, new regulations, new medical technologies, adaptation of new organizational structures, and new ways of doing business that affect the performance of organizations over time. This dynamic environment of the health care industry, as well as providers who are adopting these changes, may show varying performance gains (or losses) over time depending upon how they respond to various external or sometimes system-wide internal influences. In DEA literature, there are popular techniques that enable health care managers and researchers to conduct evaluations over time through longitudinal (panel) analysis. One of these methods is the Malmquist productivity index, a method that provides an opportunity to compare the health care facility’s performance from one period to another. The second method is called “Windows” analysis, which provides an opportunity to analyze and compare multiple periods of performance data.
