More than 60 per cent indicators of resource configuration (total six indicators) and service ability (total six indicators) are assessed as \u201chospital on PPP model \u227b public hospital\u201d or \u201chospital on PPP model\u227b private hospital\u201d from three models of Deng's correlation degree, grey absolute correlation degree and grey comprehensive correlation degree. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 Evaluation of resource configuration and service ability for hospital on PPP model with GRA makes results quantified objective and provides reference for decision making and management. GRA makes the comparison of resource configuration and service ability between hospital on PPP model and other model hospitals becoming possible. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The shortcoming for data analysis method of \u201clarge sample\u201d is overcome and data analysis method of \u201csmall sample\u201d is realized by using
