مستخلص: Background: The first crucial step towards military hospitals performance improvement is to develop a local and scientific tool to assess quality and safety based on the context and aims of military hospitals. This study introduces a Quality and Safety Assessment Framework (Q&SAF) for Iran's military hospitals. Methods: This is a literature review which continued with a qualitative study. The Q&SAF for Iran's military hospitals was developed initially, through a review of the WHO's framework for hospital performance, literature review (other related framework), review of military hospital-related local documents, consultations with a national and sub-national expert. Finally, the Delphi technique used to finalize the framework. Results: Based on the literature review results; 13 hospital Q&SAF were identified. After reviewing literature review results and expert opinions; Iran's military hospitals Q&SAF was developed with 58 indictors in five dimensions including clinical effectiveness, safety, efficiency, patient-centeredness, and Responsive Management (Command and Control). The efficiency dimension had the highest number of indictors (19 indictors), whereas the patient-centered dimension had the lowest number of indices (4 indictors). Conclusion: Regarding the comprehensiveness of the developed assessment framework due to its focus on the majority of quality dimensions and important components of the hospital's performance, it can be used as a useful tool for assessing and continuously improving the quality of hospitals, particularly military hospitals.
