Abstract 

Objective

To develop a national multidimensional model for comparative performance evaluation of Israel's public general hospitals (PGHs).

Working hypothesis

The model's target populations will differ in their attitudes towards the need for the model; their definition and characterization of its components; their views regarding the manner of data presentation; their attitudes towards the proposed model and related issues; and their views on the model’s potential usage and feasibility. Variations in these variables will also be found within each target population according to its unique characteristics.

Methodology

The study has four sequential stages, each with its own methodology:

  1. Definition of the model’s conceptual framework – literature review and in-depth interviews.
  2. Definition of the model’s components and their characterization – Delphi process.
  3. Examination of the target populations’ attitudes towards the proposed model and a selection of related issues – attitude questionnaires.
  4. Examination of the model’s feasibility and usage potential – case study and SWOT1  analysis.

Study populations: Senior managers in the Ministry of Health (MoH), PGHs and HMOs; a random sample of consumers; and experts in relevant fields
