Abstract

Backgroundm: Today, correct distribution of healthcare resources is a top priority in all societies. Countries reform their healthcare systems to improve quality and to promote access to healthcare services. In this regard, controlling the amount of medical tests and procedures and reducing unnecessary procedures is an objective for healthcare systems. Cath labs are rooms that provide various and expensive Medical Procedures in hospitals. The present investigation was carried out to determine the amount of medical tests and procedures and its relation to healthcare reform in Iran. Methodology: To study the relationship between the amount of provided Cath lab`s tests and procedures and implementation of healthcare reform in three hospitals of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, in the current quantitative and before-after study, statistical data was gathered from 2012 to 2016, to run paired t-tests to compare the quantitative variables before and after Health Transformation Plan. To collect and analyze information Excel, 2013, and SPSS, v. 22, were used. Findings: The results showed significant increase in the amount of cardiology clinic admissions and hospitalization (p=0. 0001). Also, the amount of coronary angiography, angioplasty, CT-angiography, EPS-Ablation, and pacemaker placement increased right after Health Transformation Plan (p=0. 0001) while they decreased slightly in the second year. It was also found that the amount of CABG surgeries did not change after the plan (p=0. 238). Conclusion: It seems that Health Transformation Plan has altered various factors that have affected the amount of provided Cath lab procedures, which can probably tend to unnecessary use of these services, as well. Therefore, monitoring and controling these factors are important to achieve quality improvement, to plan healthcare, and to avoid unnecessary medical tests and procedures.
