Results: Analyzing the results of the data comprised of ۱۴ categories and ۴۰ concepts within ۶ dimensions, including causal factors, governing system’s determination to develop the healthcare system, contextual/environmental conditions, intervening factors, strategies, and outcomes. The development model was further validated by the SEM, and confirmed via the goodness of fit index (GFI=۰.۹۷).
