N2  - Cost management is the most important factor affecting the economic performance of the hospital. Good management of costs in the short term stabilizes and balances the operating balance of the hospital and secures the hospital in terms of liquidity. In addition, good management of costs in the long term makes the hospital financially stable. According to the mentioned cases and increasing hospital costs, the present study was conducted to identify and investigate the factors, drivers, and obstacles to improving cost management. All the components identified and extracted from the articles were divided into four dimensions (enhancing factors, prerequisites, barriers, and solutions) for improving hospital cost management. Reviewing the results of each study showed the importance of each component in managing, improving, and controlling hospital costs. In this regard, policymakers at the decision-making level and managers at the executive level should pay attention to the components and dimensions affecting the control and improvement of hospital costs according to the structure, process, and expected consequences, and then make the necessary decision regarding their implementation.
