Evaluation of a Constrained Facet Analysis Efficiency Model for Identifying the Efficiency of Medical Treatment Facilities in the Army Medical Department

Abstract

The Constrained Facet Analysis (CFA) Efficiency Model is a prototype system used to compare the relative efficiencies among non-homogeneous input and output Decision-Making Units (DMUs). A working microcomputer-based CFA model called the Productivity Analysis Support System (PASS) was developed at the University of Texas at Austin by Drs. Bessent, Bessent, and Elam. Using retrospective AMEDD data from a set of 25 hospitals for FY85 through FY87, this model was exercised to evaluate the ability of PASS to identify efficient and inefficient hospitals within a variety selected datasets of 18 test groups.
