Results: There was no any significant correlation between the number of patients’ complaints and the time of implementation of health transformational plan. However, there was significant correlation between patients’ status (P=0.01), hospitals professionals (P=0.001), dead or alive patients (P=0.001), and type of hospitalization (P=0.001) before and after implementation of health transformational plan.
Conclusion: The findings showed that patients’ complaints from physicians and nurses increased after implementation of health transformational plan and thus may suggest that there is need to improve patient-physician communication.
