Data Disposal For the sake of consistency, we need to process the original data, which we denote as original Step 1: Find the maximum and minimum values in the whole table, denoted by Vmax and Vmia. The adjusted value is ad justed Step 2: If the metric has only one factor, we can simply use Adjusted. If the metric consists of several factors, we should give each one the weight as determined in Task I Neglected Metrics We neglect the metrics of responsiveness inequities and faimess of fi- nancial contribution because we lack data To quantify responsiveness, WHO surveyed 35 countries, giving scores in seven aspects; but data for the U.S. are absent [WHO 2007]. Thus, we delete this factor. without the metric of responsiveness, we should adjust he weights in calculating the metric Performance Performance=.613×HL+:387×HCs Selected metrics e Resources Human resources (Table 2) HR=25(physicians + nurses +dentists+pharmacists), where the numbers are measured per thousand of population. Material resources (Table 3): We choose hospital beds per 10,000 population to reflect the amount of material resources.数学中国 www.madio.net
