Abstract

To explore the change trend and influencing factors of health service efficiency in China from 2012 to 2021, and provide scientific basis for rational allocation of health resources in the next step. Methods: We selected medical and health institutions in 31 provinces and cities of China as the research objects. We used BCC model, Malmquist index model and fixed effect model to analyze the service efficiency of health institutions in 31 provinces and cities, based on the data from China Health Statistical Yearbook and China Statistical Yearbook from 2013 to 2022. We applied DEAP 2.1 software for DEA model empirical analysis and Stata15.1 for regression analysis. Conclusion: The efficiency of health resource allocation in China was improving continuously with a good development trend, but it was not good overall. Most provinces had invalid DEA and decreasing returns to scale, and the corresponding input did not get the expected output. The regional development was unbalanced, and there was a large difference in health service efficiency among provinces. This paper provided scientific basis for rational allocation of health resources in China in the next step, and put forward corresponding policy suggestions.
