Therefore, in this research, the effect of dynamic capabilities on collaboration with hospital provider and supply chain supply function of hospital with the role of technology orientation has been investigated. Methods: This research is a descriptive-survey based on the purpose of the applied research and according to the method of data collection. The population of the research is the employees of the supply chain of Ali ebne Abitaleb Ravar Hospital and is a sample of 267 people. Data were collected by a researcher at one stage. Data were then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in AMOS and SPSS software. Results: The results show that collaboration with the hospital provider has a direct and significant effect on hospital supply chain performance. Also, the four dimensions of dynamic capabilities have a significant impact on collaboration with the hospital provider. The technology orientation has a direct effect on collaboration with the hospital provider, but its moderating effect was not meaningful in collaboration with the provider of the four dimensional dynamic capabilities. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, to improve the supply chain performance, the concepts of the four dimensions of dynamic capabilities and collaboration with the provider of the hospital should be considered and the use of technology should be decided with a more coherent and transparent view.
