A govnerment is looking at assessing hospitals by reference to a range of financial and non financial measures, one of which is survival rates by hearth by pass operaations
WHich one of the three Es best descibes the above measure
Sir, i m a bit confused as to shud it be effectivness or effeciencty?
and how do i differentiate between them
You need to watch my free lectures because I do spend time in the lecture explaining the difference.
Effectiveness is measuring whether or not the are succeeding in what they are supposed to be doing. So survival rates is a measure of effectiveness.
Efficiency is measuring how well they are using their resources. So, for example, the number of patients per doctor would be a measure of effectiveness (the higher the number the better).
