The data were analyzed by statistical tests using the SPSS software Results: Strategic planning implementation was moderately successful in hospitals (score of 2.84 out of 5). The most and least success were observed for planning and employee management dimensions respectively. Process management, organizational culture and customer management constructs had the most effect on the success of strategic plans. Significant statistical correlation was also observed between strategic planning implementation and managers' commitment (p= 0.0001, r= 0.406), employees’ involvement (p= 0.0001, r= 0.338), and physicians’ participation (p= 0.001, r= 0.363).
