Abstract

Background and Aim: The health financing system is the process of collecting, pooling and managing financial resources to purchase health services. Sustainable financing of the Iranian Health System is crucial for achieving universal health coverage. The purpose of this study was to identify Strategies for sustainable financing of the Iranian Health System. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted using the scoping review in 2020. The following databases and search engines were searched systematically between 21. 03. 2002 and 21. 09. 2020 to find studies related to sustainable financing Strategies for the Iranian Health System: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Embase, Magiran, Iranmedex and SID databases, and two search engines; i. e., "Google" and "Google scholar” . Finally, 47 studies were selected and analyzed using the MAXQDA software and the framework analysis method. Results: A total of 40 Strategies were identified for strengthening the sustainability of Iran's health financing system, which were grouped into three categories: collecting funds, pooling funds and purchasing health services. The most frequently cited Strategies for sustainable financing of the Iranian Health System were the following: increasing the health share of gross domestics product, expanding tax revenues, pre-payment methods of health financing, strengthening public-private partnership, increasing the efficiency of the health system, reducing health system costs, consolidating insurance funds, eliminating insurance overlaps, value-based health service tariffs, optimizing health services support packages, and fixed payment methods based on the performance of the health service providers. Conclusion: The Iran's health financing system must be strengthened in such a way as to make it possible to collect, pool and manage sufficient financial resources to be used to purchase health services for the people to ultimately ensure universal health coverage leading to the promotion of the public’ s health.
