DESIGNING AN OPERATIONAL PLANNING MODEL FOR HOSPITALS AFFILIATED TO THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND MEDICAL EDUCATION OF IRAN

The operational planning is a process that by it managers regular the actions for receiving to goals. One of The problems in Management of Iranian hospitals is the lack of native model for operational planning. This study has been conducted to designing a model for operational planning in Hospitals affiliated to the Ministry of Health and Medical Education of Iran. In this functional study, the theoretical models of operational planning were examined through Library Studies and after determining the variables of different models of operational planning, a questionnaire was developed and a survey from 176 experts from academic and administrates of hospitals, the data was collected and Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was performed. In order to identify the factors influencing planning, the method of analyzing special values and rotation using the method of varimix and also the cumulative percentage of variance has been used. In order to verify the accuracy of the factor analysis performed on the data and also the adequacy of the sample size from the Keser-Meyer-Alekin Index and the Bartlett Spread Test, and for validating and verifying the final model of the Amos22 software, and to examine the model obtained from the fitting model Used. results of exploratory analysis indicated that effective factors on operational planning in Iranian district hospitals were 8 factors. These factors to the effect arrangement in model consist of: guidance of planning operational and coordinating formation (0.916), goals Management (0.912), policy and organizational procedures (0.878), planning rules (0.846), statistical reports and evaluation (0.837), problems Management (0.830) , providing of resources for plan performing (0.829) , organizing of planning team (0.761). guidance of planning operationals and coordinating formation and goals Management are most effective factors in operational planning in iranian hospitals and use of them and other factors of model can improve the performance of operational planning in hospital.
