Abstract
Background: vulnerable events could damage structural, non structural and functional components of hospitals that might lead to community crisis, accordingly. Risk assessment is the first step to develop of a hospital disaster plan. In this study, a primary phase of developing a local tool for Iran's hospital disaster risk assessment entitled "Hospital Safety Index (HSI)" was conducted by World Health Organization originally.
Materials and Methods: First, the original index was translated into Farsi in five forms and 145 items. Then a group of four experts from the fields of medicine and engineering assessed the items one-by-one for their relevance and applicability. Revised edition tested three times at Shariati hospital in Tehran. An expert panel also evaluated the feature and content validity of the index. They also weighted the items as well.
Results: Test-retest of the index by two independent research groups found 93% of agreement. Furthermore, 244 points were revised or added to the original edition. The most important changes included: Combining instruction parts with related items for increasing educational properties, completing the list of hazards, developing a plan to analysis, and to present a quantitative and graphic of the model and finally to prepare an educational package as well.
Conclusion: Persian version of HSI, in response to needs of Iranian's health system, represents a rapid no-expensive tool for screening disaster risks at hospitals based on an international template that was tested in several countries. Based on this study, the Farsi index would be evaluated in more hospitals around the country. The assessment results will provide Iranian's health system with evidence-based information for more effective allocated resources and interventions evaluating.

Abstract
Background and Objectives
In recent years, medicine supply chain management has become more significant, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. The most important issue is supply chain cost control. If the drug inventory is not properly managed, it will lead to issues such as the lack of inventory of certain drugs, provision of excess inventory, increased costs, and, finally, patient dissatisfaction.
Materials and Methods
In this study, an attempt has been made to predict and manage the pharmaceutical needs of hospitals using an efficient deep-learning algorithm. The drug consumption data for ten years of Besat General Hospital in Hamedan are extracted from the HIS database. As a case study, the accuracy of the predictive model is evaluated, especially for cefazolin. We use a deep model to analyze the medical time-series data efficiently. This model consists of a Long Short-Term Memory network, which can sufficiently recognize the change history in time-series prediction applications. The proposed model with many adjustable parameters in the deep architecture will bring good performance to overcome the complexities of the learning problem.
Results
Using the deep learning method can increase robustness by reducing the effects of complexity and uncertainty in medical data. The average forecasting error for the proposed method is 0.043, and the measured values for RMSE, MAE, and R2 are 0.335, 0.260, and 0.851, respectively.
Conclusion
A comprehensive comparison between some other predictive methods and the implemented model shows the outperformance of the proposed approach. Additionally, the evaluation results indicate the efficiency of the proposed approach.
