Background and objective: Business model is an effective factor on organizational productivity. Present study was conducted to investigate the current state of productivity and business model of hospitals in the Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS). Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in the hospitals affiliated to IUMS, during 2017-2018. In the present study, 102 managers from 15 hospitals were included; they completed a 47-item questionnaire, which evaluated the product presentation and innovation, infrastructures and customers' relationship. The data for productivity consisted of the bed occupancy ratio, bed turnover interval and the length of stay; they were obtained from deputy of treatment of IUMS. Data were analyzed by SPSS software, using Chi-square, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis Tests. Results: Mean ± standard deviation of bed occupancy ratio was 79.46 ±11.9% (moderate level), bed turnover interval was 6.28 ±1.61 days (poor level), and also the length of stay was 4.17 ±1.53 days (moderate level). The scores of total questionnaire and its subsets were 121.8±29.45 (P=0.45), 58.46±15.96 (P=0.01), 25.53 ±6.77 (P=0.011) and 37.8 ±9.32 (P= 0.018), respectively. There were no significant differences between the educational and non-educational hospitals or general and specialized hospitals, regarding the productivity indicators and the business model subsets (P>0.05). Conclusion: The productivity in the cited hospitals was at moderate to poor levels; the business model was not at an ideal position. Changes in business model or its proper implementation and applying strategies to improve productivity, should be considered in these hospitals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
