Overview

Meta-analysis reveals improved bed occupancy and turnover rates alongside longer hospital stays following health reform, indicating enhanced overall hospital productivity.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the impact of the Health Transformation Plan on hospital performance indicators and functional efficiency in Iran.
  • Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines across seven databases (Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, PubMed, SID, Magiran, and Medlib) from 2013 to 2022.
  • Identified and synthesized 20 reports comprising cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control study designs.
  • Analyzed hospital performance indicators using STATA version 11.
  • Bed occupancy rate and bed turnover rate increased after implementation of the Health Transformation Plan, while bed turnover distance decreased.
  • Average patient length of stay increased across hospitals following the reform's introduction.
  • Overall hospital functional efficiency and productivity improved post-implementation, though weak performance indicators persist and require targeted policy interventions.
