碩士 === 開南大學 === 財務金融學系 === 97 === This study applies Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to analyze the operating efficiency of the civilian clinics of the military hospitals, and then uses regression analysis to discuss the relevant factors affecting their operating efficiency. Although the managerial objectives of the military hospitals are mission-oriented, all of them and the public、private or non-profit proprietary hospitals are actually under the same competitive circumstances after military personnel join the National Health insurance. To maintain the competitiveness of the military hospitals, allocate their resources appropriately and enhance their efficiency, we conduct the evaluation for their operating efficiency. The empirical results of this study not only can be used to improve the operating efficiency of the military hospitals in Taiwan, but also can be employed to develop the military medical policies in the future.
