New concepts in the field of planning and design for healthcare centers are noteworthy. One of the types of healthcare centers which was brought up and emphasized in terms of efficiency in recent years is micro-hospitals. Considering the ability of micro-hospitals to provide effective availability of healthcare services, elicitation and prioritization of related factors in establishment of these healthcare centers in the country seems necessary.

In this descriptive-survey study, the statistical population consisted of 16 professional experts in hospital planning and design who were selected using the purposive sampling method. After reviewing 53 resources and conducting library studies related to the micro-hospitals in order to compare them with the existing healthcare centers in Iran, the related factors in establishment of micro-hospitals were selected and prioritized in an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) by statistical population.

The two factors of “easy access for users and the increased job efficiency of healthcare employees (due to the low number of patients)” were the ones with the highest importance.

Given the of data analysis, better access, the possibility of attracting patients on a local scale, as well as higher speed and job efficiency of employees, along with lower construction costs (due to the small scale of the complex), have been the highest priorities among the related factors. Thus, it seems that this idea can be a responsive solution to promote the healthcare service level in Iran.
