Abstract

Enhancing the administration of primary healthcare facilities might be a significant step toward achieving the quality improvement goal. The purpose of this research was to determine whether or not improvements in healthcare performance lead to improvements in the overall quality of decision-making in Medina, Saudi Arabia. In order to determine the impact that increased information security has on the quality of decision-making, the researcher used the use of a questionnaire. Our findings revealed a high level of the quality, accepting and implementing and timeliness and administrative decision-making, and this suggests that health facilities have a high degree of competence to make administrative choices in all three of their dimensions. In addition, we mentioned a high level of performance of health facilities, and this suggests that the health facilities that were investigated had a high level of performance. We found that administrative decision-making had a statistically significant influence on the performance of healthcare facilities, and we found that for every 1% rise in the level of administrative decision-making, the performance of healthcare facilities improved by 0.853%.
