Efficiency is an important issue when analyzing the public sector, and of greater interest in the health sector. This study purports to identify level I public hospitals´ efficiency in the Córdoba, Sucre and Valle del Cauca departments, given their high corruption perception and thereby locate them in quartiles. A database was obtained with 612 records from level I public hospitals in the 32 Republic of Colombia departments; they were filtered under corruption perception criteria. An empirical study was carried out using data envelopment analysis -DEA-. As a result, the most efficient hospitals are in the Córdoba department and the least efficient are in the Valle del Cauca department.

Palavras-chave : Colombia; hospital efficiency; data enveloping analysis; health sector; public hospital; corruption perception.
