Area of Science:

  • Health Policy
  • Health Systems Research
  • Value-Based Healthcare

Background:

  • The governing value framework of a health system is crucial for guiding policymaking.
  • This study focuses on identifying values that align health policies with Iran's national ideology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a taxonomy of values that govern health policymaking in Iran.
  • To explore the alignment of existing health policies with identified values.

Main Methods:

  • A two-phase qualitative approach was employed.
  • Phase 1: Identification of values using the Shams et al. framework and analysis of nine national health documents.
  • Phase 2: Semi-structured interviews with 15 health system experts to explore governing values and principles.

Main Results:

  • Identified key terminal values: equity, comprehensive health, regional health leadership, and accountability.
  • Identified key instrumental values: individual and government responsibility, economic considerations, fair access, transparency, efficiency, quality, and professional commitment.
  • Despite existing policy documents, participants noted a lack of value-based policymaking in the health system.

Conclusions:

  • A defined set of values in policy documents is insufficient for effective implementation.
  • Specifying the relative importance and interrelationships of these values is essential for practical application in policymaking.
