Abstract: (5550 Views)
Background: Assessment of appropriate and inappropriate services offered at the hospital is a very important topic to improve resource allocation. Thus, this study performed to assess inappropriate admission and length of stay to modify extra costs and effective resource management.
Materials and Methods: This study was a descriptive-analytic one which conducted as a cross sectional study in the first half of 2017. The Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol(AEP) was used to collect data. A total of 420 patients hospitalized in Haft Tir and Firoozgar Hospitals were selected using stratified sampling method. collecting data was analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics by SPSS18.
Result: 391 individuals were admitted appropriately and 29 were classified as inappropriate admission. The rate of inappropriate admission estimated about 7% in the hospitals. female Sex, type of admission, the length of admission and place of patient residence had effect on prediction of inappropriate admission rate (p ≤ 0.05).
Conclusion: Considering the high percentage of inappropriate admission and stay length of patients as well as high costs of health services in these hospitals, the problems can be greatly reduced using proper planning, admissions management between the hospital units.
