The use of tools to evaluate the efficiency of public hospitals allows to determine which are the ones that perform best and which will have to optimize the use of their supplies. In this regard, this research carried out the measurement of the efficiency of 103 Public Level I Hospitals located in the Pacific Region of Colombia for the year 2017; to do this, a nonparametric technique called Data Envelope Analysis (DEA) was used. The data used for the study were provided by the Hospital Information System (SIHO) provided by the Ministry of Health and Social Protection. The results showed that of the 103 hospitals, 3 had an optimal level of efficiency in the use of their hospital resources, 8 hospitals had high efficiency, 8 hospitals had medium efficiency and 84 hospitals had low efficiency; At the regional level, the 3 best Hospitals are located in the department of Cauca and hospitals with lower levels of efficiency are located in the departments of Chocó and Nariño.
