Introduction: One of the goals of the health system is to ensure that people are healthy. Reaching
this goal is only possible through the provision of the proper services. The satisfaction of patients
with the quality of health care services is used as a questionare to investigate the effectiveness of
hospital services concerning consumption management and patient care quality. It assists managers
and the decision-making network to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the system.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the satisfaction of hospitalized patients in educational
and medical centers of Rasht City, Iran with the “Health Care System Reform Plan” in 2019.
Materials and Methods: The present study is an analytical cross-sectional study. A total of 395
patients hospitalized in educational and medical centers of Rasht City were selected based on
the stratified random sampling method and according to the inclusion criteria. The study data

Reform Plan” developed by the Treatment Deputy of Guilan University of Medical Sciences.

bills reduction program, resident physician program, notification program, the program for the
promotion of normal childbirth. Data analysis performed using descriptive statistics indicators and

Results: The results showed the Mean±SD of samples’ age was 43.51±18 years. The majority
(23.8%) of the samples were less than 30 years old. Moreover, there was a significant difference
between satisfaction score of the Plan (P=0.009) in terms of gender, hospital bills (P=0.001), resident
physicians (P=0.009), and notification program (P=0.032). Also, men had a higher overall score than
women. The findings of this study showed that the Mean±SD satisfaction was equal to 82.8 9.1 with
a minimum score of 39.71. In the logistics model, only two variables of the hospital (P=0.017) and
job (P=0.001) were considered as the most important factors related to the overall satisfaction with
the “Health Care System Reform Plan”.
