Description
Athanasios Mitakos and Panagiotis Mpogiatzidis rate how well public hospitals in Greece ran during the first pandemic year. Their 2024 study applies two scoring methods to the same hospitals. One method is a math model that weighs inputs against outputs to score each unit. The other folds in judged traits and the stated views of decision makers. Both views matter when a crisis strains beds, staff, and funds at once.
Mean scores look fair under one form of the math model and lower under a stricter form. Scale problems stand out, since many hospitals ran at a size the crisis made awkward. The judged scores barely track the math scores at all. The authors argue the two views must be read together. A single lens, they warn, gives a warped view of hospital performance under stress.
