Introduction It has been well established that if a person is aware that they are being monitored their commitment and effort will be maximised (the Hawthorne effect), which then leads to efficiency increase and optimal workflow. Objective Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of instant feedback and the Hawthorne effect of this intervention on pre-hospital time indexes during emergency medical service (EMS) missions. Methods This is a cross-sectional auditing study on the missions of the Tehran EMS Center (performed over a 12-month period) in three phases: pre-intervention, instant feedback, and monitoring without feedback. The measured time indexes were the different parts of mission times. To collect data, a pre-prepared checklist was set up. For the first phase, data were extracted from the database of the Tehran EMS Center. In the second and third phases, the data were entered into the relevant forms for each mission by the researcher and executive colleagues. Results The data of 229,847 missions were analysed. In the instant feedback phase, compared to the pre-intervention phase, the mean activation time, response time, scene time, transfer time and hospital delay time were decreased. When we compared the mean time indexes in the monitoring phase compared to the instant feedback phase, we saw that the average activation time, response time and transfer time were increased but they were still less than that in the pre-intervention phase. However, the scene time and hospital delay time were not changed compared to the instant feedback phase but were lower than that in the pre-intervention phase. Conclusion Auditing was effective in reducing the total time of missions and this effect was largely maintained in the monitoring phase under the Hawthorne effect.

BACKGROUND:The patients' health care choice is diverting from the private health provider to the public hospital due to introduction of various schemes and incentives by the policy makers. The limited resources are posing a challenge to the hospital administrator in escalating demands, diversity and complexity of diseases of patients. The hospital performance enhances steadily by the monitoring authorities' surveillance. It is an effective method for improving quality care in the public hospital. The Hawthorne effect is a term referring to the tendency of people to work harder and increases in effectiveness of organization when they are being observed. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the performance of a teaching hospital during surveillance by calculating the hospital indices, using the Pabon Losso Model. 2. To evaluate whether the Hawthorne effect is the cause of the increase in the effectiveness of hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was a prospective and record based cross-sectional study and conducted at Government teaching hospital over a period of 18 months. RESULTS: st A total of 18 months period census report was recorded from January 2016 to June 2017and hospital indices were estimated. The 1 phase of surveillance (January- 2016 to May -2016), where immense supervision was present, with performance feed- back, BOR was 88.65, nd ALOS was 3.932, BTR was 7.074 and BTI was 0.54, 2 phase of surveillance which was intensied with communication and committee meetings rd (June-2016 to October- 2016), BOR was 95.59, ALOS was 3.49, BTR was 7.03 and BTI was 0.886, 3 phase weaning period, where a little th supervision (November -2016 to February-2017) BOR was 87.8, ALOS was 4.1, BTR was 6.413 and BTI was 0.5725 and 4 phase self sustain stage or no observations phase, BOR was 92.6, ALOS was 3.47, BTR was 6.547 and BTI was 0.28. CONCLUSION: The surveillance of higher authorities over the hospital had increased the performance. Hospital efciency is reected by increased hospital indices. The cause and effect is the “Hawthorne effect”. Therefore it is concluded that the surveillance increases the performance and efciency of the public hospitals.
