To measure it, first, technical performance with undesirable factor, is calculated using data envelopment analysis. Then, the technical analysis logarithm of the first stage has been applied to a set of contextual variables which impact hospitals analysis. All the results are regressed later. Next, the managerial ability is measured by the remaining regression of the previous stage. Finally, a unique ranking according to managerial ability criterion is suggested.
