“…Greater attention has been given to hospital's technical efficiency and a growing number of studies in recent decades, so that to compare the relative performance given the need to ensure the best use of scarce resources [6], especially when facing the challenges in demands for high quality medical services over the long term in an ageing society [7,8]. The efficiency concept used is that of technical efficiency.…”

Abstract:The medical care system in China has experienced significant changes during three decades of reform, and thus result in a need to investigate the effects of medical reform. This paper investigates the technical efficiency of Chinese hospitals in 31 provinces during the period from 2002 to 2013 by proposing a new global generalized directional distance function (GGDDF) approach taking account of undesirable output, i.e., mortality. Results show that despite the technical efficiency had being improved with time trend, most Chinese provinces are not performing well on hospitals' technical efficiency and leave a large potential to improve. Some provinces display better performance compared to other provinces of China. We further investigate the factors that affect the technical efficiency of Chinese hospitals with Tobit models. It concludes that the medical insurance reforms have improved the performance of Chinese hospitals, while public subsidies have decreased it. The provinces with higher GDP per capital and population density, the performance of their hospitals is better. The related policy implications for Northeast Asia are derived, including encouraging the development of private hospitals, enlarging the coverage of medical services, and pursuing different policies for the provinces with higher GDP per capital and population density.

“…As a result, orphan drugs are likely to seize an increasingly greater proportion of the annually approved pharmaceutical products and occupy larger fractions of healthcare budgets. In effect, sales of biopharmaceutical drugs, which include many orphan drugs, have increased by over 100% in the US and over 200% in most European nations during 2001-2005 [7].…”

“…Definición que se complementa con los aportes de Essén y Lindblad (2013) y Rosemberg-Yunger et al, (2008), quienes agregan que la innovación además representa beneficio y avance para los individuos y organizaciones, en términos de creación de un nuevo producto o servicio, disminución de costos y mejora de productos, procesos o modelos de negocio existentes. A pesar de este aporte, aún es difícil conceptualizar la innovación y esta dificultad se extiende a las investigaciones en salud, dónde identificar una definición en la que coincidan los autores es un proceso complejo, caracterizado por aportes teóricos que divergen entre sí y que en su mayoría se orientan a visualizar la innovación cómo una serie de procedimientos que deben documentarse y comunicarse para hacerlos extensivos en las diferentes organizaciones del sector salud (Weberg, 2009;Helfrich et al, 2007;Estrabrooks et al, 2006).…”

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15665/rde.v15i1.559 JEL: I11, I18, O38 RESUMEN El uso de innovaciones en el sector salud se han difundido ampliamente en las últimas décadas, con el objetivo de entregar nuevo conocimiento para los directivos de las organizaciones que permita generar estrategias adecuadas para enfrentar los retos que plantea el contexto actual en cuanto a sostenibilidad, accesibilidad y cobertura universal del servicio de salud. En este artículo se realiza una revisión de literatura sobre el tópico innovación en salud, la cual integra la perspectiva médica con la perspectiva de otras ciencias, con el propósito de identificar consensos y divergencias en la conceptualización de la innovación en salud, identificar aportes sobre el proceso necesario para desarrollar innovaciones en las organizaciones de salud y finalmente, identificar tendencias investigativas sobre el tópico. Los principales resultados evidencian la necesidad de profundizar desde la perspectiva teórica y empírica en la identificación de prácticas y herramientas que faciliten la implementación de la innovación en el sector salud, para transformarlo en un sector dinámico, rentable y humanizado. Palabras clave: Innovación, sector salud, tendencias en salud. ABSTRACTThe use of innovation in the health sector has spread widely in the past decades, with the objective of disseminating new knowledge for the managers of organizations that facilitate the generation of appropriate strategies to face the challenges that arise in the actual context regarding sustainability, accessibility and universal health coverage. In this article, a literature review was done on the topic of innovation in health which integrates the medical perspective with that other sciences with the purpose of identify consensus and divergence the conceptualization health innovation, identifying at contributes to the process that necessary for innovation development in health organizations and finally identifying research trends about health innovation. The main results show the need for a deeper understanding of the theoretical and empirical research in the identification of practices and tools that facilitate the implementation of innovation in the health sector in order to transform the sector into one which is dynamic, profitable and human center.
