Measuring performance of the hospitals belonging to the Ministry of Health that has the largest share in health service provision in our country and determination of ameliorations needed to be done accordingly are sine qua non for efficient use of resources. To that end, for effectiveness measurement in hospitals, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) that is capable of measuring relative effectiveness of decision units by processing more than one input and output has been used. By means of DEA technique, we have aimed resources to be used efficiently and to base on services provided by it. For this reason, the model has been run input oriented. With this study, effectiveness and profitability measurements were performed in the hospitals belonging to the Ministry of Health. For this purpose, by using 2007 data on 5 financial input and 1 financial output variables from 16 different hospitals, effectiveness measurement was carried out as well as profitability/mal efficiency values of the units were evaluated. According to the results achieved, how much improvement in which resource is needed for each unit that is not effective is described and effects on their profitability are also stated.It is assertained that 13.43% idle expenditure has been done on the basis of 16 hospitals within the context of the study. Considering also profitability/mal efficiency values of the hospitals, it is concluded that they should cut their expenses in the rate of 10.43% in order to reach break-even point regarding profit and loss balance
