Eficiencia de las entidades prestadoras de salud (EPS) en Colombia por medio de análisis envolvente de datos.

This research examines the technical, purely technical, global, scale and mix efficiencies of the EPSs that are part of the Contributory scheme in Colombia during 2011. Nonparametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method was used, specifically the models CCR-O, BCC-O, SBM, -O-C which are focused on outputs to assess the efficiency of the sector, as a source of information the Superintendency of Health was used. From the 17 companies studied, 12 of these proved to be globally efficient, these were: Alianza salud, Comfenalco Valle, Compensar, S.O.S, E.P.M, Comfenalco Antioquia, Sura, Famisanar, Fondo Pasivo Ferrocarriles, Golden Group, Nueva EPS y Colpatria. The SBM-O-C, CCR-O, BCC-O averages efficiencies of the industry were 88.98%, 90.91%, 93.07%, respectively. Thus, it can be concluded that the sector presents a good performance on its efficiency.
