Abstract

Healthcare System Management (HSM) is a technique for integrating technology in public hospitals. Knowledge of strategies and decision-making issues is crucial for improving hospital services during the HSM implementation since it directly impacts the efficiency of the hospital and the level of the patient healthcare system. To address the research gap, this study presents a hybrid decision making model that combines the Analysis Hierarchical Process (AHP) method and the Analytic Network Process (ANP) to select Balanced Scorecard Policy (BSP) indicators for evaluating HSM application in a resource-limited background. The hybrid modeling approach not only assists in allocating resources for the execution of HSM but also in determining the significance of the relationship between each analyzed aspect. The hierarchical structure used in this study's quantitative and qualitative relations assessment can also assist various medical facilities in determining how the evaluation criteria and the resources needed to provide HSM services are related. In addition, the management decision policy is shown by the BSP in a healthcare center by combining the two methods mentioned satisfy the goal of strategy weights and limited resources. Finally, the article results indicate that the proposed method increases the efficiency of decisions and maximizes the can improve the reliability in HSM.
