The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the Health Evolution Plan (HEP) on Health System Responsiveness (HSR) in hospitals of Hamadan, Iran. Data were collected before and after the implementation of the HEP by interviewing hospital inpatient referrals about factors relating to responsiveness. The difference between the mean responsiveness scores before (2014) and after (2018) implementation of the HEP was not significant. The study findings demonstrate that, even though one of the most important goals of the HEP was the improvement of HSR, the responsiveness of hospitals was unchanged.
