- To compare key performance indicators of Hasheminejad hospital before and after the adoption of a PPP model.
- To evaluate the impact of PPP on hospital administration and performance in Iran.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study conducted in Iran in 2015.
- Data collected using a validated researcher-designed checklist.
- Statistical analysis included Shapiro-Wilk test, descriptive statistics, and paired t-tests (p<0.05).
Main Results:
- Statistically significant improvements were observed across all studied performance indicators post-PPP implementation (p<0.05).
- The PPP model demonstrated a significant positive impact on hospital performance metrics.
Conclusions:
- The implementation of the PPP model in Hasheminejad hospital represents a successful healthcare initiative in Iran.
