Objectives:
To assess the implementation and evaluation phases of strategic plans in selected hospitals.
Methods:
We conducted a cross-sectional study of implementation and evaluation of strategic plan in 24 hospitals in 2015, using a questionnaire which consisted of two separate sections for strategic implementation and strategic evaluation. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 18.
Results:
Nearly one-third of hospitals claimed that they allocate their budget based on priorities and strategic goals. However, it turned out that although goals had been set, no formal announcements had been made. Most of the hospitals stated that they used measures when evaluating the plan. For hospital staff, clarifying the hospital's priorities was the most important advantage of a strategic plan.
Conclusion:
There is no clear definition for strategic management in Iranian hospitals, which results in chaotic implementation and control of strategic planning.
