Evaluation of Effectiveness of Regional Health Care Systems
When evaluating effectiveness of regional health care systems, one should take into account the dependence of the result (health of the population) from activity of external factors, as well as from long-term effects of investing financial and material resources. Life expectancy at birth is considered as an indicator of health of the population, and when taken from prior periods is used to summarize characteristics of resources. To evaluate the effectiveness, methods of time series analysis and data convolution (Data Envelopment Analysis, DEA) were used.
