Multidimensional performance assessment using dominance criteria

Centre for Health Economics, University of York -Reaching judgements about hospital performance is difficult for two main reasons. First, there is no single measure of performance because hospitals have different objectives that they are expected to achieve. These objectives cover access, safety and affordability, meaning hospitals will be judged on such things as waiting times, the safety and quality of care and their costs. Second, people might value these objectives differently. This makes it difficult to construct an overall measure of performance that everybody would be happy with. This paper proposes a way to get around these problems. Research paper Centre for Health Economics - publications
