1Tecnológico de Monterrey, Hermosillo, Sonora, México, jkeith@itesm.mx.
Objective:
To evaluate technical efficiency and potential presence of scale and scope economies in Mexican private medical units (PMU) that will improve management decisions.
Materials And Methods:
We used data envelopment analysis methods with inputs and outputs for 2 105 Mexican PMU published in 2010 by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía from the "Estadística de Unidades Médicas Privadas con Servicio de Hospitalización (PEC-6-20-A)" questionnaire.
Results:
The application of the models used in the paper found that there is a marginal presence of economies of scale and scope in Mexican PMU.
Conclusions:
PMU in Mexico must focus to deliver their services on a diversified structure to achieve technical efficiency.
