This study focuses on building Operational Excellence OE) and current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP) for pharmaceuticals through 19 hospital pharmacy installations of Jogjakarta-and Central Java Provinces in lndonesia. Operational Excellence (OE) has an obsessive focus on efficiency and consistency in order to offer the better value of services. Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CCMP) is the regulations to assure that such drug meets the requirements of the act as to safety and has the identity and strength; and meets the quality and purity characteristics which it purports or is represented to possess. The study makes an attempt to provide and overview of the general status of the pharmacy installation provided by hospitals in the provinces of Jogjakarta and Centra Java in terms of their technical efficiency. The technical efficiency (TE) is analyzed using Data Envelopment Analisis (DEA). The motivation behind addressing the efficiency issue is to provide empirical analysis of continuos improvement and innovation policies which in turn provide hospital pharmacy services in both provinces.

O objetivo do artigo foi conhecer o perfil e as características dos Serviços de Farmácia do Complexo Hospitalar da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. Constitui-se de um Relato de Experiência fundamentado na Pesquisa-Ação e no Enfoque Lógico. Dentre os principais resultados, constatou-se que a estrutura, a organização, os recursos humanos e o processo de trabalho inerentes aos Serviços de Farmácia não atendem ao escopo do arcabouço legal vigente, tornando-os ineficientes sob os aspectos do processo ensino-assistência. Por fim, infere-se que as unidades do Complexo Hospitalar não atendem as diretrizes e as estratégias para organização, fortalecimento e aprimoramento das ações e serviços de farmácia no âmbito dos hospitais.

Abstract The purpose of the article was to know the profile and characteristics of Pharmacy Services of the Hospital Complex from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. It is condituted a case studies based on action research. Among the main results, it was found that the structure, organization, human resources and work process inherent in Pharmacy Services do not comply withthe scope of the legal framework in force, making them inefficient under aspects of teaching-process. Finally, it is inferred that the units of the hospital complex do not fulfill the guidelines and strategies for organizing, strengthening and improvement of actions and pharmacy services at the hospital settings.

The aims of this study are to measure the technical efficiency (TE) of Cambodian household’s rice production and trying to determine its main influencing factors using the stochastic frontier production function. The study utilized primary data collected from 301 rice farmers in three selected districts of Battambang by structured questionnaires. The empirical results indicated the level of household rice output varied according to differences in the efficiency of the production processes. The mean TE is 0.34 which means that famers produce 34% of rice at best practice at the current level of production inputs and technology, indicates that rice output has the potential of being increased further by 66% at the same level of inputs if farmers had been technically efficient. Furthermore, between 2013-2015, TE of household’s rice production recorded -14.3% decline rate due to highly affected of drought during dry season of 2015. Moreover, evidence reveals that land, fertilizer, and pesticide are the major influencing input factors of household’s rice production, while disaster, education of household head, family size and other crops’ cultivated area are core influencing factors decreasing TE. Conversely, the main influencing factors increasing TE are irrigated area, number of plot area and sex of household head.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the changeing trend and influencing factors of medical and health service supply efficiency in 31 provinces of China.Methods: According to the input-output relevant index data of medical and health service in China from 2009 to 2018, data envelopment analysis- Malmquist(DEA-Malmquist) was used to calculate the total factor productivity, technical efficiency, and technical change. Meanwhile, Tobit model to analyzed the main effective factors of medical and health service supply efficiency in ChinaResults: In 2018, 21 provinces including Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang and Guangdong were effective in DEA of China's medical and health supply efficiency. Jilin, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu and Shandong were weak DEA effective, while Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Anhui, Fujian and Xinjiang were not DEA effective. From 2009 to 2018, the total factor productivity of China's medical and health service supply has been decreased steadily, which was mainly affected by technological changes. From the perspective of regions, the technical efficiency and pure technical efficiency of medical and health service supply was the highest in the east, followed by the central and the western region. Associate’s degree or above, gross regional domestic product, and health care expenditure were significantly associated with the increasing of medical and health service supply efficiency.Conclusions: According to their own conditions and constraints, all localities should take targeted measures to strengthen the allocation and management level of medical and health resources, promote technological progress, give full play to the role of education and economic development, increase the expenditure on medical and health care, improve the utilization rate of beds, shorten the average hospitalization days, effectively improve the efficiency of medical and health services supply, and better provide health care for people.
