“…The Value-Based DEA method [32] is a MAUT-based variant of the additive DEA model with oriented projections [35], able to incorporate imprecise information about the DM's preferences. MAUT is used to evaluate the utility of each alternative, taking into account the multiple criteria.…”

“…The Value-Based DEA model avoids the scale-dependence problem of the additive DEA model [32], since all the input and output measures are translated into utility units. Moreover, the weights used in the aggregation gain a specific meaning: they are the scale coefficients of the utility functions.…”

“…It uses the Value-Based DEA method [32], which has proven useful for this type of evaluation in previous studies [33,34]. This method builds on the additive DEA model with oriented projections [35], using concepts developed in the field of MCDA under imprecise information [36,37].…”

“…DMUs choose the weights associated with these functions, subject to restrictions reflecting GDM's preferences. In Value-Based DEA, the efficiency measure assigned to each DMU has an intuitive meaning: the "min-max regret" (loss of utility) [32].…”

ABSTRACT. In 2005 a new phase for Primary Health Care (PHC) in Portugal began, leading to the voluntary and independent creation of Family Health Units. The impact of this reform is now being witnessed, which justifies the need to evaluate its results as far as best practices in PHC are concerned.This work uses a Value-Based Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, which combines an additive DEA model with Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) concepts, to allow incorporating managerial preferences in the performance assessment of 12 health centres in a Portuguese region. Two models are presented for evaluating access to PHC, which resulted from discussions with a group of decision makers.This analysis helped the decision makers in the identification of best practices, sources of inefficiency and gaps relatively to the best practices, thus leading to shape opportunities for improvement.
