BACKGROUND A hospital consumes a large amount of health resources, and investigating hospital performance can increase hospital efficiency. METHOD This retrospective descriptive research analyzed data on performance of 6 hospitals in Abadan, Iran, during a five-year period (2015-2019), based on Graphical Model of Pabon Lasso. RESULTS Findings suggested 16% of studied hospitals were in Zone 1, 50% were in Zone 3, and 33% were in Zone 4 of the Model. None of the hospitals were in Zone 2. CONCLUSION As the hospitals in this study did not perform efficiently, concerns related to more efficiently use of available resources are crucial.
