Abstract
Objectives: This study showed a possibility that efficiency measurement of smoking cessation clinics at health center can be performed by solving a problem related to objectiveness, which may occur in measuring many organization with many measuring items, with DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis). Methods: For proving this possibility, efficiency measurement for resources utilization of Smoking cessation clinics at Health center have been performed by using a static cross-sectional analysis of DEA model. Results: As a result, DMU(Decision Making Unit) having efficiency rate of 1 will be evaluated that output is higher than input and resources are being used efficiently, but on the other hand, DMU having efficiency rate of below. Conclusions: 1 will be evaluated that output is lower than input and resources are being used inefficiently, which is required to be improved.
