Therefore, the need for careful review and evaluation of their performance is indispensable. There are several approaches to assess the performance of hospitals, that one of the most useful is Pabon Lasso Model. In this Model and its corresponding graph three indices (Bed occupancy rate, bed turnover rates and mean hospital stay) are used. In this study, efforts have been to evaluated Performance of Qom and Kashan University of Medical Sciences hospitals by using this model. Method: This is an analytic study and in order to assess to the performance of hospitals, values of the indices-During the three years period (2009-2011) from each hospital separately was calculated. Then According to the relationship between these indicators, And simultaneous guide to Hospital Performance status using Pabon Lasso Model carried. Results: With design of graph and check hospital status on them, was observed in 2009 only one hospital from hospitals that were assessed, was with optimal efficiency (Located in district 3). In the 2010 and 2011, the total number of hospitals that were studied in two hospitals in the district is favorable and other hospitals located in other areas, Need to review the performance and are improving efficiency indicators. Conclusion: Pabon Lasso is a tool that using it in addition, comparison of the important indicators of hospital Also they can be used to evaluate the performance and efficiency. This Model enables hospital management to analyze the position of hospital and can it be a useful guide for the future planning.
