Abstract:

The general objective of this study was to evaluate the technical efficiency of Brazilian teaching hospitals by means of the data envelopment analysis. Therefore, an exploratory research of quantitative nature was performed using secondary dataGovernment of Health. The analysis was performed using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, oriented to output. The population of this study consisted of 29 large teaching hospitals, belonging to the Center-West, South, Southeast and North regions of Brazil. It was identified that 12 hospitals were located in the border of efficiency, that is, they were related as efficient in the maximization of the outputs and 17 were below that border. The absolute value for the efficiency of those that did not reach the border was established through benchmarks with weights for the mirroring. It was identified to the legal nature that the personality Business Entities was the most efficient, followed by Non-Profit Entities and finally the Public Administration. The results of this research suggest that the DEA has potential for evaluation of technical efficiency in the hospital scope when evaluating the capacity in the operational ambit of the establishment.
