Abstract

Background: A hospital consumes a large amount of health resources, and investigating hospital performance can increase hospital efficiency. Method: This retrospective descriptive research analyzed data on performance of 6 hospitals in Abadan, Iran, during a five-year period (2015–2019), based on Graphical Model of Pabon Lasso. Results: Findings suggested 16% of studied hospitals were in Zone 1, 50% were in Zone 3, and 33% were in Zone 4 of the Model. None of the hospitals were in Zone 2. Conclusion: As the hospitals in this study did not perform efficiently, concerns related to more efficiently use of available resources are crucial. © 2021 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
