Investigating the Responsibility in Health System, a Review Study

Emphasis on human rights in the provision of health care services becomes important when a patientchr('39')s vulnerability makes him or her vulnerable to abuse. The importance of patient rights and attention to them became more prominent when the response to patientschr('39') non-therapeutic expectations was cited as one of the goals of health systems in the 2000 World Health Report.

In this study, all articles published between 2000 and 2016 were found in both Iranian and international valuable databases using keywords of responsive, health services, and health system. In order to collect data, a data extraction form based on the research goal was used. The result of this search was the acquisition of 39 related articles, of which 21 articles were eventually removed due to lack of entry criteria, and 18 articles were included in the study.

Following the evaluation of accountability in the health system, more cooperation of patients with members of the treatment team, satisfaction with the quality of services, satisfaction with the performance of health personnel was created. It is also important to be accountable to health care providers, and to make the best possible management of resources and the development of corrective strategies.

Given the current state of accountability in health care providers and their importance, strengthening the downside dimensions should be a priority for health managers and policymakers.
