Background The Chinese public health system is grappling with escalating demands, which stemmed from the challenges of preventing chronic and infectious diseases, as well aging population. Meanwhile, in context restricted resources, how to efficiently utilize these resources becomes a paramount concern. Objective This study aimed evaluate technical efficiency specialized facilities, major providers services China, then discuss its temporal spatial distribution characteristics finally investigate influencing factors. Methods super slacks-based measure data envelopment model was constructed calculate facilities 31 provinces 2017 2019. Stepwise regression applied sort out significant independent variables. Then, geographically weighted used analyze spatially varying associations between Results On average, average technical, pure scale efficiencies were 0.6569, 0.7336 0.9206, respectively. Notably, subtle downward trend observed efficiency, declined 0.6889 0.6238 From decomposition, this reduction mainly caused by decreasing efficiency. Besides, substantial geographic variations observed, eastern region exhibiting greater levels Contrarily, western appeared perform better terms Based on regression, proportion expenditure had noticeable negative impact especially partial central coastal provinces. other side, ratio older population, sex Nitrogen Oxides emission volume positive impacts coefficient magnitude across different areas.

Nowadays, health systems comprise a series of resources structured to provide healthcare services meet our needs. However, premature deaths still occur. To quantify and understand personal conditions affecting such amenable mortality, the Healthcare Access Quality Index (HAQI) was put forward, evaluating 195 countries territories since 1990. Nevertheless, literature acknowledges limitations this framework, as drawbacks using principal component analysis aggregate individual indicators, absence control for financing environmental conditions, presence substantial degree data uncertainty. Accordingly, we propose methodological alternative computation HAQI novel fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis model handle aforementioned shortcomings. We also its extension towards quantification efficiency (E-HAQI) - in sense value money by incorporating financial aspects modelling inputs. This way, contribute with innovative approaches that can deal high Furthermore, second-stage analysis, impact key exogenous factors on access quality is assessed via non-parametric hypothesis testing. Our results show positive significant correlations both revisited E-HAQI original 2016 dataset. They reveal better use European Oceanian than Sub-Saharan African ones. Concerning contextual determinants, socio-demographic development, human type system were found be statistically drivers efficiency.

More robust and resilient health systems must safeguard populations economies in search of a more sustainable future. Their complexity, alongside the crises they have been facing, postulates need for appropriate performance assessment mechanisms to improve access quality their services. Given existence multiple criteria regarding these dimensions, this work proposes collaborative multi-criteria decision-aiding framework categorise public hospitals terms services according five-star rating. Besides, although literature is keen on assuming independence, fact that there are several potential benefits considering interactions between criteria. However, not an unmitigated, nor consensual, understanding concept yet, applications sector. Therefore, our adopts extension Electre Tri-nC method incorporate In end, from sample 26 Portugal 2018 2021, results show majority assigned "Poor" ("Two stars") "Average" ("Three categories over considered 4-year period - something increased time.
