The healthcare market is an area where high technological investments and expenditures are made, which include an important area of employment that directly affects the society. With globalization countries want to increase their existing resources and on the one hand want to use their existing resources in the most effective way. A significant portion of the country's' resources are allocated to the healthcare field. The efficient use of these resources is important both for the national economy and for the society. The increase in health expenditures makes the economies of the countries more difficult year by year. In an environment where resources are so valuable, various efficiency analysis methods are used to evaluate whether resources are used efficiently. When the efficiency techniques are examined, there is an analysis technique made with financial data called traditional method and data envelopment analysis technique called modern analysis technique. DEA, which can analyze many inputs and outputs at the same time, has gained a lot of popularity in recent years and various studies have been conducted with this analysis method. In this context, 32 OECD countries were analyzed according to specific input output variables by data envelopment method. As a result of the analysis, the overall efficiency rate was 85% for the CCR input-oriented technique and 92% for the BCC inputoriented technique. Among 32 OECD countries, 8 countries were found to be efficient according to CCR output-oriented analysis technique, while 16 countries were found to be efficient according to BCC output-oriented analysis technique. According to CCR method Canada, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Slovenia and Turkey are the countries is located above the efficient frontier. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
