  • Title: Measuring hospital productivity.
    Author: Ruchlin HS, Leveson I.
    Journal: Health Serv Res; 1974; 9(4):308-23. PubMed ID: 4461703.
    Abstract:
    This study presents a comprehensive method for quantifying hospital output and estimating hospital productivity. A number of less comprehensive productivity measures that can be quantified from data available from regional third-party payers and from the American Hospital Association are also developed and evaluated as proxies for the comprehensive measure, which is based on local area data. Methods are discussed for estimating the necessary variables on a regional or national level.
