Abstract :
Introduction: The importance of speed, synergy, and efficiency in service delivery has made the network paradigm the dominant paradigm for many government agencies, including the health care system. The purpose of the present study is to present a model of network performance evaluation in network governance of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education.Methods: This was a qualitative content analysis study. Semi-structured interviews with exploratory orientation were conducted with 14 experts from the Ministry of Health and Medical Education. These were selected by purposive sampling. Content validity of extracted themes was 0.90. Reliability between the two coders was 87%.Results: After six stages of content analysis, 52 basic themes and five organizing themes (competency development of 10 themes, effective planning of 7 themes, flexibility of structure and process of 13 themes, realization of goals of 12 themes, effective accountability of 11 themes, effective accountability of 11 themes). Network rule was designed.Conclusion: In evaluating the performance of network governance, accountability and system stability are the most important factors. Health managers and policymakers can use the model provided in developing performance appraisal indicators.
