| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We measured cost-efficiency in the provision of regional nursing care services in Japan in terms of “technical efficiency,” “allocative efficiency,” and “price efficiency,” and investigated whether factors such as the approaches, services, characteristics, policies, and external environments of the regional governing bodies (e.g. prefectures, municipalities) have a statistical influence. We then investigated reform policies. This study used Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a non-parametric method, and similar models that led to its development. We also used the Malmquist Index (MI) to expand the study to a time-series analysis, and analyzed changes in productivity since the establishment of the public nursing care insurance system.
