Abstract
Pandemic planning depends a great deal on hospital capacity. COVID-19 created great strain on hospital bed resources in Wuhan, Milan, New York City, and elsewhere. Hospitals today need to provide basic services to satisfy community demands, and at the same time offer specialization, to enhance their competitiveness. From a management perspective, measuring and ranking the hospital’s efficiency appropriately is complex because their funding is affected by many factors. This chapter presents a DEA model to assess capacity to accept new patients considering resource costs.
