Background: Health care systems especially hospitals often encounter several risks which has weaken efficiency and hospitals performance entirely. Resilience engineering (RE) enables to remain high risk systems stable faced to sudden changes or minimizes negative effects of changes.

              

Materials and Methods: This study considered a new hybrid framework concept regarding the non-value added waiting time and resilience engineering indices as efficiency indices to evaluate private and public hospitals performance. With the intention of evaluating the hospitals performance, a hybrid framework including simulation and MADM methods utilized. Output-oriented Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach used as MADM method.

Results: The results revealed that RE factors play a significant role in hospitals performance's promotion; also the private hospitals had better performance compared to the public ones.

Conclusions: Study results indicated that teamwork efficiency index compare to other efficiency indices had more effect on hospitals performance. Health system managers should be considered improved performance and efficiency policies and focus more on other RE indices parallel team work index.
