Hospital Efficiency with Using Pabon Lasso Model: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

The Pabon Laso Model is one of the most important models of evaluating efficiency. Many studies are implemented with this model in Iranian hospitals. The aim of the current study is reviewing related articles with systemic review and meta-analysis.
The data was gathered by using keywords such as bed, hospital performance, and length of stay, bed turnover, Pabon Lasso Model, bed occupancy, and bed utilization. The terms were searched in databases such as IranMedex, MagIran, IranDoc, Medlib, SID, PubMed, Google Scholar, Elsevier, and Scopus. The articles were searched from 2001 to 2015. Meta-analysis method was used for calculating Pabon Lasso indexes. CMA: 2(Comprehensive Meta-Analysis) was used.
The results of 27 articles were reviewing. The results of 348 hospitals had shown 79.9(22.9%), 76.8(21.7%), 117.8(33.8%), and 74.6(21.4%) of hospitals were in areas one, two, three, and four, respectively. The average of length of stay, bed occupancy, and bed turnover were 3-3.7(95% CI), 41-95(95% CI), and 71.7-78.4(95%) per year.
Only one-third of hospitals are in area three in Pabon Lasso model. The performance status is as follows: average of the length of stay (approximately standard), bed occupancy (upper than standard), and bed turnover (lower than standard).
