چکیده
Background and Aim: The third phase of health reform plan in Iran came into force since the announcement of the book named value of the notification. Due to the influence of this book on hospitals performance,
this study aimed to determine and compare the selected statistical indicators of a teaching hospital before and after the implementation of the contents of this book.
Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2015. Data (statistical indicators) were collected, with the permission and considering the confidentiality of information, through reports review and on-site visiting and analyzed using SPSS (version 17) software.
The comparison of selected indicators between paired samples were performed. Correlations were considered significant at α=0.05.
Results: Announcement of the value of the notification book resulted in a statistically significant increase in bed occupancy ratio, occupied bed day, average length of stay, and number of hospital death and also a significant decrease of bed turnover interval and rate. Furthermore, a significant increase of inpatients and
outpatients visits and significant decrease of emergency visits and caesarean were also observed.
Conclusion: Implementation of the aforementioned book significantly affected some statistical indicators (bed occupancy ratio, occupied bed day, and caesarian), but it has no significant effect on other statistical indicators (inpatients and outpatients visits, emergency visits and number of surgeries). However, extending
the results of this study to other hospitals requires more extensive studies.
Keywords: Health reform, statistical indicator, hospital, the relative value of health care, Iran
