Investigation of the Performance of Public Oral and Dental Health Centers in Turkey with DEA and Tobit Model
Abstract
Oral and dental health is one of the indicators of general health and quality of life. Oral and dental diseases are global public health problems and are one of the most common non-communicable diseases. The purpose of this research is to determine the efficiency levels of Oral and Dental Health Centers (ODHC) affiliated to the Ministry of Health in the period 2014-2018. As a method in the study, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) CCR method was used to measure the technical efficiency of ODHCs. In addition, Tobit analysis was performed to determine the factors affecting the efficiency. In Turkey, the universe of research has continued to operate continuously between 2014-2018, the number of units is 50 and more ODHCs affiliated to the Ministry of Health. The sample was not selected in the study, and the whole universe was reached. Number of units and total number of dentists as inputs; as output, number of patients examined, number of tooth extractions, number of conservative treatments, number of endodontic treatments were used. The 2014-2018 DEA efficiency scores were determined as an average of 0.750, 0.782, 0.759, 0.733, 0.716, respectively, by years. Efficiency scores obtained in DEA were taken as dependent variables and Tobit analysis was performed and the results were interpreted. In the 2018 DEA results, it is proposed to reduce the number of units from input variables by 21.81% and the total number of dentists by 24.17%. Among the output variables, it is seen that the number of endodontic treatments should be increased by 34.59%, the number of examined patients by 3.45% and the number of conservative treatments by 2.77%.
