Abstract

Background and purpose: Since 2005, a reform known as Rural INSURANCE and FAMILY MEDICINE Scheme has introduced to PRIMARY HEALTH CARE network in Iran in rural areas and small towns. The content of the reform implies a substantial change in those aspects of health centers that mainly could be categorized as STRUCTURAL QUALITY. Although, this is the requirement of all health care providers, they are not identical in those items. In this article, we have tried to report the relation between STRUCTURAL QUALITY of health centers and utilization of curative care in Mazandaran province.Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in 2013. Secondary and routinely collected data was used to answer the research questions. The source of original data was provincial health authority’s data set. A check list containing pre-identified variables was used to extract the data. Using SPSS software package, regression analysis was run to measure the role of different independent variable on dependent variable.Results: There were 215 rural health centers affiliated to 16 cities or small towns that the reform has taken place. The outreach area population of these health centers was 1,330,212 of which 834,189 (62.71%) were covered by rural INSURANCE solely. Health centers are not identical in terms of the characteristics of health centers and their utilization. Among the variables with significant impact on the utilization of OUTPATIENT CARE, except for number of physician in each health centre and existence of state owned pharmacy that were found in some health centers, the rest of variables had significant positive impact on the demand for physician visit.Conclusion: STRUCTURAL QUALITY has significant impact on the utilization of curative care of primary healthcare units at rural area in Iran. The reform seems well targeted the quality improvement and utilization of effective PRIMARY HEALTH CARE.
