| Optimal use of existing facilities and resources to improve the efficiency of healthcare and treatment centers, achieving social welfare, and responding to the needs of customers, is an important issue. Paying more attention to healthcare and treatment centers, allocating sufficient resources, and using them correctly will improve the health of the workforce and increase production and productivity in society. One of the important mechanisms for evaluating the performance and efficiency of healthcare and treatment centers is the use of data envelopment analysis. In this article, we propose a new mechanism for the proper distribution of facilities and healthcare and treatment centers in cities to reduce costs and also maximize the efficiency of healthcare and treatment centers with the aim of better quality of services. This is done by integrating the problem of -median location and network data envelopment analysis. Proposed methods are applied for performance measurement, location-allocation, and distribution of 11 healthcare and treatment centers in Shahrood. The primary results show potential of cost reduction that could be done when allocating clients, considering the performance of healthcare and treatment centers. Another important finding is to have centralized healthcare and treatment centers rather than diffused center to reach the optimal condition which is a vital information for health care policy makers. | ||
