Another study conducted by Tamer; aims to increase the social sustainability and service quality of the health services available in the context of the sustainability of health organizations. Based on user-oriented, performance-oriented design capabilities, he conducted research at a private health institution with a large capacity to analyze the current situation and future business plans. As the key partner group, he preferred the patients of his hospital’s non-medical staff and medical staff. The results of the research, in which both qualitative and quantitative methods are used, define the key problems that must be overcome in order for health care institutions to be socially sustainable. Apart from the key priorities for all partner groups, more than 20 different indicators were identified for evaluation. According to the researchers; examples of different studies carried out under similar conditions and comprehensive interviews with hospital users and the criteria and indicators for assessing the social sustainability of hospitals have been put forward. The results, besides the average satisfaction level, also provide the individual answers of the participants. In addition to defining these facts and results, it is also envisaged to establish a basis for further research on the social quality of hospitals at the level of strategic planning.
