Synergizing IFTOPSIS and DEA for Enhanced Efficiency Analysis in Inpatient Units

Abstract
The pursuit of efficiency in the business sector is a multifaceted endeavor, extending beyond mere cost reduction to encompass a strategic optimization of operational performance. The enhancement of efficiency is not solely for the benefit of investors or proprietors but is also a concerted effort to maximize resource utilization and minimize waste. This study introduces an integrative approach combining IFTOPSIS and DEA methodologies to deliver a robust efficiency evaluation framework.The fusion of IFTOPSIS's qualitative analysis with DEA's quantitative assessments addresses the complexity of operational performance, providing a balanced evaluation that transcends subjective bias with data-driven insights. IFTOPSIS articulates decision-makers' preferences in uncertain scenarios, assigning weights to criteria, while DEA discriminates between efficient and inefficient operational units. This confluence of methods is applied to the assessment of inpatient healthcare units—a sector that has traditionally relied on patient-centric evaluations, neglecting the comprehensive review of resource deployment. The results of this amalgamated approach reveal dimensions of operational efficiency previously unexplored, offering stakeholders a data-enriched foundation for strategic decision-making. The study's findings have significant implications for the healthcare industry, providing a template for resource evaluation that could inform policy and drive improvements in patient care services.
