Dr. Premakumara, Shahnaz Shojaefar

Abstract :

 In this paper an attempt has been made to analysis the performance of social security organization in providing health care services in Iran. The secondary time series data from 2001 to 2010 has been used for analysis. It has been identified that, the dependency of SSO on other hospitals, physicians and specialists is significantly high. Mean-time, the dependency of SSO to treat the outpatients more on the specialists belongs to the hospitals under the contract of SSO. Hence, the study suggests reducing the dependency of social security organization on other hospital and doctors. Accordingly it is the right to SSO to think about nano-medicine instead of spending huge money for out-sourcing.
