Evaluation of Biomedical Laboratory Performance Optimisation using the DEA Method.

Introduction: The Slovenian Resolution on the National Healthcare Plan notes that the country's medical laboratory activities are fragmented, which may result in cost-inefficiency and a reduction in the quality of the services provided. Defining the efficiency of laboratory service providers can therefore help us to pursue the objectives of the Resolution, i.e.

Defining the Optimal Size of Medical Laboratories at the Primary Level of Health Care with Data Envelopment Analysis: Defining the Efficiency of Medical Laboratories.

Introduction: As an integral part of health care, biomedical laboratories are an important contributor to quality patient care. There are only few studies on technical and economic efficiency in the field of laboratory medicine. Nevertheless, such research is crucial to further optimize public resources.
