| مستخلص: | The concept of a joint approach in regard to Multilevel Models and Stochastic Frontiers developed in light of the increasing levels of interest in costs related to health care services, including hospitals, over the last few years. At the same time, both consumers and policy makers prioritize the quality of these services, and a holistic approach is required to identify areas for improvement in this regard. Quality in healthcare services means the ability to meet specific requirements, and it is the result of scientific, technical and technological, organizational, procedural and relational factors , where the human variable plays a primary role, interacting closely in the production process . In the present day many industrialized countries have healthcare systems which designate resources to hospitals according to predefined tariffs for each pathology. For example, the Lombardy Region in Northern Italy establishes an annual tariff for Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG). Therefore, the structure of the public health system depends on national and regional political decisions, but it becomes self-governing from an operational point of view. Accordingly, hospitals can be compared to firms, thus admitting functional models in an entrepreneurial way and introducing competition between the various healthcare structures. Hospitals try to devise an organizational model which allows the reduction of costs by optimizing the use of available resources, while simultaneously increasing patient satisfaction by providing optimal medical assistance. Healthcare is currently following this trend and in many countries it is based on a mixed welfare system made of private profit-oriented agents, private non-profit companies and public hospitals. The purpose of this work is to create decisional models similar to those used in financial planning, with a large number of variables, with the aim of estimating the risks involved in some enterprises, and devising accordingly appropriate alloca MARTINI, GIANMARIA 1470 open open Angelici Angelici, M |
