“…This analysis will refer to DMUs as FCs. Both clinics would be seen as equally effective in our model if Clinic A received US$10,000 total dollars annually and provided 125 patient visits and Clinic B received US$200,000 total dollars annually and provided 2,500 annual visits (example adaptation; Corredoira et al, 2011). Hence, each clinic is evaluated based on the comparison with their top performing peers on this efficiency frontier.…”
