Abstract
Along with technological innovations and developments experienced in the second half of the twentieth century, very important changes have occurred in healthcare. Many different, complex and economically expensive services are being tried to be carried out together. For this reason, it is finally crucial that the health services delivered by providers to scarce resources are delivered effectively and efficiently to people without sacrificing quality. Today, the most important problem of the production of healthcare services is the resource shortage as it is in other sectors. Efficiency, quality and competition are important criteria in the production and delivery of health services. Reducing costs in the production of health services is one of the main health policies for many world countries. These policies have made it necessary for international competitiveness, product and service sectors to continually improve their performance. In this study, the efficiency evaluation of the health care services of OECD were examined using Data Envelopment Analysis and Malmquist Total Factor Productivity. Considering the input values of the countries, the results of the input-oriented model and Malmquist productivity index were analyzed with the fixed return assumption according to the scale.
