“…10 Bed occupancy rate (BOR) and average length of stay (ALS) are key indicators of hospital performance. [12][13][14][15][16] The average BOR of SSO hospitals is reported to be 76.1%, 11 close to that of OECD countries (77%), Belgium (78%) and France (75%), higher than that of the United States (65%,) and lower than that of Norway and Canada (90%) and the United Kingdom (85%), as reported in 2013. 13 On the other hands, the ALS in SSO hospitals is reported to be 2.7 days which is extremely lower than that of the OECD countries (8.1 days) 11 and even below the minimum standard of 3.5 days required by the MOHME.…”

Background Urban family physician program (UFPP) is initiated as pilot by policy makers as a main reform in future of primary health care in Iran. Despite an ongoing pilot implementation of this program from 2012, it remains a main question about providing sufficient number of general practitioners (GPs). This study aimed to investigate the factors which affect GPs’ decision to join in the UFPP. Methods In this national cross-sectional study a sample of 666 GPs, using convenience sampling, filled a self-report questionnaire. The multivariate logistic regression was applied to explore the demographic, practice and views determinants of the tendency of GPs to join in the UFPP. Results More than half of GPs (58.6%) participated in the study had a positive tendency to join in the UFPP. Older GPs (adjusted OR = 3.72; 95%CI 1.05–13.09), working in public sector (adjusted OR = 2.26; 95%CI 1.43–3.58), lower income level (adjusted OR = 6.69; 95%CI 2.95–15.16), higher economic expectations (adjusted OR = 2.08; 95%CI 1.19–3.63), and higher satisfaction from medicine profession (adjusted OR = 2.00; 95%CI 1.14–3.51) were the main factors which increased the GPs tendency to enter in UFPP. Conclusions Decision for joining in the program is mainly affected by GPs’ economic status. This clarifies that if the program can make them closer to their target income, they would be more likely to decide for joining in the program.
