Background and Aim: Hospital is organization which its performance improvement is very important. In order to do this, we must evaluate the allocated resources and performance of hospitals. Calculating hospitals efficiency is one of the possible ways to evaluate the performance of them. In this study, the efficiency of allocated financial and human resources of public hospitals by provinces is examined.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in 2017-2018. Data were collected from 31 provinces of Iran. Input (including: number of physicians, number of nurses and number of active beds per ten thousand population) and output (number of hospitalizations and number of outpatients per ten thousand people). Data were collected from studies. The efficiency analyzing of the provincial treatment department was performed with DEAP software.
Results: The input population (nurse, doctor, bed) is related to hospitals and health centers in Semnan, Yazd and Mazandaran provinces And the least amount of input was related to Sistan and Baluchestan, Khuzestan, North Khorasan provinces. The highest output (inpatient and outpatient) belongs to East Azarbaijan province and the lowest output belonged to Hamedan province. Efficiency score, variable return to scale and constant return to scale for all hospitals in the country are 0.565, 0.813 and 0.47, respectively.
Conclusion: proper and correct distribution of resources between provinces may increase efficiency of resource distribution.
