Abstract
Comparative Performance Measurement is a step-by-step guide to using comparative performance measurement (CPM) to improve management, operations, budgeting, and policymaking of an agency or function, and to communicate an agency's successes and remaining challenges.

A nonlinear (nonconvex) programming model provides a new definition of efficiency for use in evaluating activities of not-for-profit entities participating in public programs and methods for objectively determining weights by reference to the observational data for the multiple outputs and multiple inputs that characterize such programs.

The paper treats the cases when the categorical variable can be controllable or uncontrollable by the manager, for the cases of technical and scale inefficiency, and the approach is illustrated using real data.

Data Envelopment Analysis is suggested as a means to help identify and measure hospital inefficiency as a basis for directing management efforts toward increasing efficiency and reducing health care costs.

222 Citations1983Thomas Ray Nunamaker
No evidence was found to support the notion that the overall potential for efficient delivery of routine services by the sample institutions was greater in one year than another, as well as the fundamental differences existing between the DEA and cost per patient day approaches.

The empirical results suggest that a two-stage approach that augments MDEA with regression analysis provides a fruitful way of determining effectiveness outcomes and relating them to features of organizational design and the operating environment.

Data envelopment analysis is a linear programming–based method that has clear advantages over competing approaches, but its own limitations should not be overlooked.

A new LP approach, called Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), is illustrated, which is used to set Medicaid prescription drug dispensing fees for a sample of 68 pharmacies, using Pareto efficiency to gauge the degree of relative technical efficiency achieved by each pharmacy.

The results show that the gainsharing program had no significant effect on productivity in one hospital and a negative effect in the other hospital, raising questions as to whether gainsHaring will help health care providers improve productivity.
