CONTEMPORARY USE OF HOSPITAL EFFICIENCY INDICATORS TO EVALUATE HOSPITAL PERFORMANCE USING THE PABON LASSO MODEL

English Abstract

Background: Evaluating of the hospital performance using the hospital efficiency indicators can help to appropriate understanding of efficiency of predetermined plans. This study used the Pabon Lasso model to evaluate the performance of hospitals and identify strategies to assist the hospitals in achieving to optimal level of performance. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was undertaken in 2013. The study involved all of the 14 hospitals in Ardebil province. Three performance indicators, namely Average Length of Stay, Bed Occupancy Rate and Bed Turnover, collected by questionnaire. The Excel software and Pabon Lasso model used to data analyze. Results: The overall average of length of stay, bed occupancy and bed turnover rates were 2.44 days, %55.4 and 80.85 times / year respectively. Six hospitals were in Zone 1 of the model, five hospitals fell into Zone 3, indicating a satisfactory level of efficiency, and three hospitals placed in Zone 4. None of the studied hospitals fell in zone 2. Conclusion: Hospital managers can use Pabon Lasso model to understanding the status of own hospital efficiency. This analysis can be useful guidance to planning for efficiency improvement.
