Bootstrapping

Bootstrapping

The term "bootstrap" originated in the 19th century as a metaphor for self-improvement or achieving something independently, without external assistance. This concept extends to statistical bootstrapping, a self-contained method for estimating population parameters through resampling, even though it can be computationally intensive. Developed by the American statistician Dr. Bradley Efron in 1979, bootstrapping provides a robust way to perform inference when the original sample size is...

Healthcare Agencies II

Healthcare Agencies II

There are various healthcare agencies in the United States—some of which are managed by religious institutions and others by different government branches.
Parish nursing is a growing specialty nursing profession that focuses on holistic healthcare, health promotion, and illness prevention. It blends professional nursing practice with a health ministry, focusing on health and healing within the context of a Christian community. Parish nurses serve as health educators, referral sources,...

Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident. Whatever...

Tertiary Healthcare System

Tertiary Healthcare System

Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...

Outer Layers of the Cell Envelope

Outer Layers of the Cell Envelope

The outermost layers of prokaryotic cells play a critical role in their survival, virulence, and interaction with the environment. These layers, often composed of polysaccharides, polypeptides, or proteins, form protective and adhesive structures that vary in organization and function.Capsules and Slime LayersCapsules are highly organized, tightly bound layers that firmly attach to the bacterial cell wall. Capsules are usually made of polysaccharides, though some are made of polypeptides. These...

Data Reporting and Recording

Data Reporting and Recording

Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Area of Science:

Healthcare Management
Supply Chain Optimization
Operations Research

Background:

The healthcare supply chain involves diverse players including manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers.
Understanding the interplay of different efficiency types is crucial for optimizing healthcare logistics.
Previous research has not comprehensively analyzed the comparative efficiency of these players.

Purpose of the Study:

To comparatively analyze the efficiency of healthcare supply chain players.
To investigate the relationships between managerial, supply chain, and competitive efficiency.
To identify strategies for optimizing the healthcare supply chain.

Main Methods:

Classification of supply chain players by industry (manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers) and system (healthcare, non-healthcare).
Utilized bootstrap data envelopment analysis (DEA) for efficiency measurement.
Employed correlation analysis to examine relationships between efficiency metrics.

Main Results:

Wholesalers and retailers (high competitive efficiency) can achieve high managerial efficiency with less supply chain focus.
Manufacturers and distributors (low competitive efficiency) need to prioritize supply chain efficiency for managerial efficiency.
No significant correlation found between efficiencies within the healthcare system.
Significant positive correlation between managerial and competitive efficiency in the non-healthcare system.

Conclusions:

Efficiency strategies should be tailored to player type within the healthcare supply chain.
The non-healthcare system demonstrates a stronger link between managerial and competitive efficiency.
Findings contribute to advancing the field of healthcare supply chain management efficiency.
