RESUMO
Public reporting of hospitals' performance data is a growing trend. This transparency may improve patient choices, competition, and service quality. This study aims to provide recommendations to improve hospitals' transparency in Iran. A qualitative study designed with 18 semi-structured interviews. Recommendations were categorized into five main themes, including passing a comprehensive law on transparency to create political commitment, educating people and healthcare providers to create the culture, developing a simple and efficient structure to foster transparency, and monitoring and evaluating transparency. The most important issue is political commitment. If it exists, the rest of the obstacles can be solved.
