Analysis of the pathways to improve resource allocation efficiency in el-derly care institutions in China from a configurational perspective
Objective To analyze the specific pathways for enhancing the resource allocation efficiency of elderly care institutions in China,providing a basis for the scientific development of resource allocation in these institutions.Methods The Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA)method was employed to calculate the comprehensive efficiency values of resource allocation in elderly care institutions across 31 provinces in China,which were used as the outcome variable.Five condition variables were selected for fsQCA analysis.Results In 2022,the average comprehensive efficiency of resource allocation in elderly care institutions in China reached 0.878,indicating a relatively high overall level,although disparities existed among provinces.There were five pathways to improve the resource allocation efficiency of elderly care institutions,with an overall coverage of 0.614 528 and an overall consistency of 0.881 904,demonstrating strong explanatory power of the model.Conclusion The supply of beds is a crucial condition for achieving high efficiency in resource allocation in elderly care institutions.The synergistic effects between internal and external conditions facilitate the realization of high efficiency in resource allocation,and the interaction and coordination among conditions promote the emergence of pathways leading to high efficiency in resource allocation.
