Triangular fuzzy functions are used to determine the importance degree parameter of each hospital management element which combined with the results from the Synergy Entropy evaluation of the hospital management elements, arrive at a comprehensive collaborative computation result for the various elements, ensuring results objectivity. Finally, the analysis of the collaborative research on multi-level hospital management demonstrated the scientific effectiveness of the hospital management Synergy Entropy-House of Quality (HoQ) Measurement Model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e17042409","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,21]],"date-time":"2015-04-21T06:26:47Z","timestamp":1429597607000},"page":"2409-2431","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Collaborative Performance Research on Multi-level Hospital Management Based on Synergy Entropy-HoQ"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Lei","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, Sichuan University,  Chengdu 610064, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xuedong","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, Sichuan University,  Chengdu 610064, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, Sichuan University,  Chengdu 610064, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Tsumoto, S., and Hirano, S.
