Abstract

This article takes the township hospitals in 29 provinces in China as the research objects, using the DEA-Malmquist model to analyze the input-output efficiency of medical services in them, aiming to understand the changes in the efficiency of medical services in township hospitals in China. The results display that overall level of medical service efficiency of township hospitals in 29 provinces in China is not high, the value of pure technical efficiency is low, and only 10 provinces have comprehensive efficiency equal to 1, as well as the number of provinces that is technically effective is relatively small. Although the total factor productivity index of 29 provinces displayed an overall upward trend from 2011 to 2020, the change in total factor productivity efficiency during the 10-year period was not stable. Provinces with a total factor productivity index greater than 1 accounted for 75.86 %, indicating that the medical service efficiency of township hospitals in most provinces has improved from 2011 to 2020. The medical services of township hospitals have excess input and insufficient output. It is indispensable to rationally arrange the resource allocation of township hospitals and enhance their own and external technical efficiency.
