Man has continually tried to make the best of things economically such an intendancy can be considered an achievement of higher efficiency. Efficiency is a comprehensive concept promotion of which has always been considered to help life-style, well-fare, people's prosperity and austerity by political and economic authorities.
 Materials & methods: In this research, the data from 9 hospitals of Ilam (western Iran) were analyzed and categorized using Data Evaluation Analysis (DEA) based on CCR Model (input-output-based) as well as various feed-backs in quad-variables (constant, changing, ascending, descending) with two scenarios during 2009-11 applying DEA solver software. In scenario A, the three inputs of doctors, staff, and acting beds besides the three inputs of clinical, para-clinical, and out-door services were used, while in scenario B, the three inputs of doctors, staff, and acting beds were evaluated in relation to the three outputs of admission-day, days bed-occupation percentage, and out-door services.
Findings: The findings showed that the most general technical efficiency rate as well as the rate in the study duration stood for the years 2009, 2010, and 2011 using the output-based scenario B. In most of the investigation years, 40% of the investigated hospitals proved efficient comparatively and technically, while the remained 60% centers implied some degree of inefficiency in respect to techniques and ratios.
 Discussion & Conclusion: The results of our research demonstrate that the selected health centers have not functioned efficiently. It is also concluded that technical efficiency promotion capacity to almost 13% level and comparative efficiency capacity to 10% level were possible without any increase in the costs or the staff.
