• Resumen

  • Starting from the idea that in the public hospitals in Romania, in time, was formed an ever-increasing gap in terms of funding, we performed an analysis to identify whether the level of funding for similar hospital services depends on the costs incurred by treatment with the same type of patient. Analysis of the correlation between the complexity of diagnoses treated and quantitative indicators of a hospital allowed us to identify how these parameters aff ect fi nally effi ciency and performance of the hospital. Our approach used advanced statistical analysis to study four hospitalized morbidity indicators based on diagnostic groups (number of patients discharged, average length of stay, number of days of hospitalization and case-mix index) and an indicator of organizational structure of the hospital (number of beds) for the 61 municipal hospitals in Romania in 2013.
