| description | Background: Evidence-based Management (EBMgt) has been developed as a management model to improve the quality of management decisions. Hospital managers’ decisions can have a significant impact on service effectiveness and hospital success. Hence, this study aimed to survey sources of evidence among public hospitalschr('39') managers for decision-making in Iran.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 183 managers of public hospitals in eight educational centers of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education in 2017. The research tool was an evidence-based management questionnaire with 20 items and 6 main domains. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential tests by SPSS21.
Results: One hundred seventy-two (94%) out of 183 participants were male. The mean age and work experience were 45.28 and 19.30 years, respectively. The lowest score was related to "the academic journals" (52.56%), While managers relied heavily on "Ministry of Health programs" (80.98%). The average use of scientific-research evidence, fact and hospital information, political-social development plans, managers’ professional expertise and ethical-moral evidence and values and expectations of all stakeholders were 59.70%, 62.43%, 75.30%, 71.36%, 71.83% and 73.7%, respectively.

Using hexagon of evidence sources, managers can identify the best available evidence for hospital decisions and they make the best decision in the process of evidence-based decision making. |
