scores). The obtained score was 259.60 in enablers area and 243.08 in results area. Each of the nine
EFQM-criteria score and percentages were as the following: Leadership 52 scores (52%) policy and
strategy 43 (54%), human resources 42 (47%), resources and companies 50 (56%) and processes 70

Conclusion: Implementation of the self-evaluation model in this hospital led to identification of
strengths and areas in need of improvement. Out of enabler and results criteria, staff and
costumer satisfaction were with lowest scores, respectively; which are considered as the areas
