title: [Hospital productivity in the light of hospital indicators].
abstract: Of all the facilities that are utilized by the health area in order to provide care, hospitals are certainly the most favorite whether of the population or of health professionals. This is due to the amenities and security offered by the concentration of human and technological resources. However, this means high costs that should be diluted by increases in productivity and quality. Thus quality of management, productivity, staffing, even though scrutinised by other researchers, deserve further analysis. This research project aims at bringing to light the productivity of hospitals by using hospital indicators such as length of stay, bed turnover bed turnover and replacement interval as well as the employees per bed ratio.
