Increasing of the operational costs in hospital and limitation in financing cause that hospital as an economic firm use economic analysis and prepare effective using of resource and boost productivity. Objective: To analyze economic efficiency and resource allocation situation of teaching hospitals of Qazvin university of medical sciences (1999-2007). Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in 2008. Need data (human and capital resource information) was collected from data center of research deputy of university and teaching hospitals and registered at information sheets and then was analyzed by DEAP2 software and data evolvement analyze method. Results: Average technical, pure and scale efficiency of centers during the period of study was appointed respectively 0.90, 0.96 and 0.93. 50 percent of centers were efficient for using of resource [Total Technical Efficiency (TTE)= 1]. Another 50 percent of centers had no efficient situation (TTE = 1). Efficiency rate of studied centers was variable during the time of study and had not uniform trend. Human and capital resources were made 67 and 33 percent of total operational cast of centers respectively. The average of annual cost estimated per labor 30.1 ×106 and for capital resource 19.9 × 106 Rails. Conclusion: Labor and capital resources have more costs for hospital industry, therefore policy and decision makers must determine need for resource by using economic analysis and correct planning methods and then employ them, appoint optimal capacity for centers to service delivery, enhance positive efficiency indexes and distinguish the ways that is more effective in boosting of resource performance.
