Configurations associated with the efficiency of the ophthalmology departments in public hospitals of Central South China
Moderate efficiency levels in ophthalmology departments at both tertiary and secondary hospitals were found. Prioritizing the number of ophthalmologists and equipment was recommended to achieve high efficiency for ophthalmology departments in tertiary and secondary hospitals. We also proposed that blindly increasing the number of beds and nurses was meaningless, and ophthalmology departments should flex the bed capacity and number of nurses after premising having high numbers of ophthalmologists and equipment.
