Abstract

Throughout the world, People refer directly or indirectly to hospitals.
As a result of the growth in urbanization, the living standards have
improved, but some diseases have emerged too. The hospitals need to
meet the increasing demands of people and their frequent and
random visits. This issue has been considered in Iran in resent years
and the present article tries to address it. It reveals the determinant
factors on hospital production function using cross section data of 287
selected hospitals in Iran for 2001 in the context of an econometric
pattern.
The results show that the number of physicians, nurses, and hospital
beds are the main factors affecting the production function of
hospitals services and the final productivity of nurses are the most
important factor.
