Quasi-experimental design evaluates inefficiencies in resource allocation in Kenyan hospitals, suggesting improvements.
District hospitals in Kenya face challenges in managing patient flow and resource allocation efficiently. A mixed-method approach combining qualitative interviews with quantitative data collection was employed to evaluate current procedures and propose improvements. Analysis revealed an average of 20% inefficiency in resource distribution across hospitals, suggesting the need for targeted interventions. The quasi-experimental design demonstrated effectiveness in identifying areas for improvement, providing a roadmap for system enhancement. Immediate implementation of evidence-based risk reduction strategies is recommended to improve patient care and hospital operations. Treatment effect was estimated with logit(pᵢ)=β₀+β^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
