The present study was carried out to prioritize public-private partnership models in public hospitals of various countries based on key performance indicators. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, we used literature review and expert panel method to identify various models of public-private partnership and performance indicators. We also used Analytic Hierarchy Process to prioritize performance indicators and various public-private partnership models based on performance indicators. The data were analyzed using the Excel 2007 and Expert choice11. Results: The key performance indicators of public hospitals were as follows: in the quality-effectiveness area, the most important indicators were the rate of hospital infections, hospital incidents breakout rate, pure rate of hospital mortality, patient satisfaction percentage, respectively in the accessibility-equity area, the most important indicators were average inpatient waiting time, and average outpatient waiting time, respectively and in the financial- efficiency area, the most important indicators were average length of stay, bed occupation ratio, and private income to total cost ratio, respectively. Prioritization of the public-private partnership models indicated that the clinical outsourcing, management, privatization, the " Build, Own, Operate", and non-clinical outsourcing models were the most important ones.
