Abstract：Objective To analyze the service efficiency and changes of county-level public hospitals in Shandong Province from 2017 to 2023,and to provide references for improving the service efficiency of county-level public hospitals.Methods Based on the deta envelopment analysis method,BCC model was used to evaluate the static service efficiency of county-level public hospitals in 16 cities in Shandong Province in 2023,and to dynamically track the change trend of efficiency from 2017 to 2023 based on Malmquist index model.Results In 2023,the average comprehensive efficiency of county-level public hospitals in Shandong Province is 0.971,and the efficiency value of county-level public hospitals in 8 of the 16 cities is 1,which is in DEA effective state;From 2017 to 2023,the average total factor productivity of county-level public hospitals in Shandong Province was 0.906,with an overall decline of 9.4%in service efficiency.Conclusion The overall service efficiency of county-level public hospitals in Shandong Province is high,but regional differences are obvious,and the technical progress index is the key to further indicate the service efficiency.Local governments need to reasonably control the scale of county-level public hospitals,continuously improve their technical level,and strengthen their internal management,so as to improve their service efficiency.
