Sentence examples for indices of efficiency from inspiring English sources
The circuits were evaluated using radial/spider graphs, and were evaluated based on the metric indices of efficiency, capacity, quality, economics and environmental impact.
Adjusted clinical groups (ACG®) were used to obtain three indices of efficiency (EIs) and one index of complexity, or risk index (RI).
Although we have not found reports in the literature that simultaneously calculate these 3 indices of efficiency (episodes, visits and costs), the differences we observed in the correlations between them could perhaps be explained because the costs associated with the ACG® were calculated on the basis of the unit cost of the visit and not of the episode.
One way round this is to weight hospital activities by their costs and then to calculate an index of efficiency on the basis of the inputs that hospitals are also using.
The structure of core polymer particle is an important index of efficiency in hollow carbon nanosphere.
Furthermore, the index of efficiency change (EFFCH) is decomposed into pure efficiency change (PECH) and scale efficiency change (SECH) and therefore follows relationship (6).
Therefore, this equation measures a global index of efficiency of gas exchange because it takes also shunt effect into account [12].
The Malmquist-Luenberger productivity index can be decomposed into an index of efficiency change (MLEFFCH) and an index of technological progress (MLTECH) {mathrm{ML}}_t^{t+1}={mathrm{ML}mathrm{EFFCH}}_times1} times {mathrm{ML}mathrm{TECH}}_t^{t+1} (13).
Finally, the index of efficiency change is decomposed into pure efficiency and scale efficiency, showing, respectively, whether the major source of efficiency change comes mainly from improvements in pure technical efficiency or is mainly the result of an improvement in scale efficiency.
Specifically, the approach used here compares economic inputs into health, that is GDPHE, contrasted against clinical outputs, that is reduction in CMR which serves as an indicator of effectiveness, and derives a ratio of GDPHE against reduction in CMR as an index of efficiency.
