“…The FUCOM is a relatively recent methodology for determining the weight coefficients of criteria, notable for its straightforward mathematical framework and minimal procedural steps [31]. Its application has been wide-ranging, covering diverse research fields such as human resources [32], maintenance [33], the video game industry [34], construction machinery selection [35,36], the electric car industry [37], postal traffic [38], healthcare management [39,40], and location problems [41,42], among others. The mathematical formulation of this method is detailed in the following section [31].…”

“…Financial management skills are crucial for successful private practices, where practitioners must navigate pricing, costing, and budgeting decisions. Financial management is a determining factor in the success of privatized hospitals (Khosravi et al 2022, Torkzad and Beheshtinia 2019, Sepehri 2014, Sohrabi et al 2021. Researchers and policymakers have shown interest in financial literacy among healthcare professionals (Cawyer et al 2022, Payne et al 2020, Lall et al 2019, Bar-Or et al 2018, Connelly and List 2018.…”
