INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF THE HEALTH TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM ON PUBLIC HOSPITALS AND HEALTH PROFESSIONALS (RESEARCH IN ANKARA PROVINCE)

AIM: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of health applications of the Health Transformation Program (HTP) on public hospitals and health professionals. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This descriptive and seeking relations study was conducted with the health professionals who were working in 4 public hospitals located in Ankara province. The survey was administered to 335 health professionals by using stratified sampling method. Frequency analysis, factor analysis, correlation, and regression analysis methods were used to analyze the data. RESULTS: Independent variables were infrastructure, health care delivery, and management. Dependent variables were digital displays and health professional variables. Two different regression models were developed. Multiple regression models which were designed for independent and dependent variables were statistically significant. Independent variables explained almost 14% of the total variance of the digital displays and 33% of the variance of the health professionals. CONCLUSION: The management and the representation of the health services are important forecasting tools for digital displays. However, the infrastructure of the health care does not have a significant effect. On the other hand, all of the independent variables are significant forecasting tools for health professionals and the Health Transformation Program (HTP) affects the health professionals more than public hospitals.
