The sample size continued to saturate the interview data with each group of people. Data collection was performed with open questions and interviews using semi-structured interviews. Finally, all interviews were analyzed using MAXQDA software.
Results: After implementing and data analysis, the causes for prolonging the time spent on administrative violations in primary and recruiting boards were divided into five main categories including "member characteristics"; "actual proceedings"; "Inevitable factors"; " legal factors "and" organizational factors".

Abstract
Background: In service organizations such as hospitals, human resources (HR) play a key role in the quality of service delivery. Lack of a systemic attitude in terms of system dynamics, HR planning have been somewhat distant from reality. In order to solve such a problem, this study aimed to modeling the dynamics of human resources capacity management system in healthcare services.
Materials and Methods: This case study is one of the cases at a clinic of Khatam -al-Anbia Eye Hospital of Mashhad which was used to simulate the system dynamics approach. In the implementation process, after modeling and formulating in Vensim software, the model was validated and appropriate policies were identified based on simulation results.
Results: The simulation results revealed a gap existence between service capacity and desired capacity led to a work pressure. Consequently, time per service relative to the standard time per service (0.333 hours equivalent to 20 minutes) as the core of service quality has been reduced (cutting corners of time). To counteract such a situation, appropriate policies were identified during the time in a dynamic manner using sensitivity analysis based on changing patient acceptance rates and human resource changes.
Conclusion: The proposed model provides the status for hospital managers which allows them to manage appropriate human resources in the same conditions with a viewpoint of causal relationships with respect to system dynamics.

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.
