It was named after the responsible agency: Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (Health Social Security Administrator). In its early years of implementation, it was indicated that it was not financially optimal because it made a significant financial loss. Therefore, this research was conducted to examine the efficiency level of several hospitals in Jakarta from a technical and cost perspective. The 2018 data was obtained from the Ministry of Health and BPJS. The survey covered 36 hospitals from various regions in Jakarta and was analyzed using Data Envelopment Analysis and Stochastic Frontier Analysis. DEA Solver LV 8 and Frontier 4.1 were the primary tools in this study. There were two significant results of this study. First, most hospitals in Jakarta were efficient in terms of technical efficiency score of DEA (0.73) and SFA (0.52), whereas cost efficiency was mediocre with a score of DEA (0.56) and SFA (0.50). Second, three indices (regional technical efficiency score, regional cost efficiency score, and ownership cost efficiency score) showed similar patterns for DEA and SFA efficiency scores except for the ownership technical efficiency index. It is recommended that the government should immediately improve the centralized national database for hospitals and decide strategic policy to arrange for cooperation between hospitals primarily by sharing their data on hospitals’ load and staff availability.","PeriodicalId":157908,"journal":{"name":"Health Science Journal of Thailand","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139358672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data were retrieved all palliative care patients from HosXP data based during 2017 to 2022. The outcome of this study was number of accessing to health services. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple poisson regression analysis. Results found that the number of palliative care patient accessed to health service before COVID 19 outbreak was 3,076 times (Mean ± SD: 19.23 ± 13.40) and during COVID 19 outbreak was 1,374, (12.84 ± 8.67). It found that factors affecting access to health services before COVID 19 were males (aIRR = 0.86; 95%CI: 0.80, 0.93), those aged over 60 years-old (aIRR = 1.21; 95% CI: 1.12, 1.31) and those who had Charlson’s comorbidity index score > 3 points (aIRR = 1.57; 95%CI: 1.27, 1.95). During COVID-19 outbreak, it found that factors affecting access to health services were males (aIRR = 1.19; 95%CI: 1.08, 1.34), Hence, in order to have a sign for service provider of prioritizing service, there is a needed of periodizing severity of palliative care patents by age and Charlson’s comorbidity index score during normal and epidemic of emerging disease.","PeriodicalId":157908,"journal":{"name":"Health Science Journal of Thailand","volume":"212 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139358774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
