Abstract:
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) identifies price and technical inefficiencies among decision-making units. With controls for differences in case-mix and standardized outcomes, DEA's "best practice" frontier can be interpreted as a "cost-effectiveness" frontier. This study illustrates the key concepts, identifies the decisions required to use the technique for medical care decision making, and presents an application to a system of nine hospitals that offer obstetric services.

Decision Making: P-value Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can have a...
