Research on bed efficiency in public hospitals under DRG background
Objective To analyze the bed utilization efficiency of various clinical departments in a public hospital and provide reference for the rational allocation of departmental bed resources.Methods Based on the data from a tertiary specialized hospital in 2022,traditional bed efficiency indicators were used as the basis.The Case Mix Index(CMI)was introduced for ad-justment,and the reasonable range of beds for each department was calculated.Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA)was em-ployed to comprehensively evaluate the input-output efficiency of each clinical department and determine the direction for optimi-zing bed allocation.Results Among the 39 departments included in the study,10 departments had inappropriate bed settings.Among them,5 departments needed additional beds,while 5 departments needed to reduce the number of beds.Conclusion By adjusting the bed efficiency indicators using CMI and combining the DEA method,hospitals can obtain a scientific basis for dy-namically adjusting the number of beds in clinical departments.Hospitals should make rational use of bed resources and scientifi-cally plan departmental beds.
