Indeed, the performance of an hospital is affected by plenty of factors, related to technology, organization and estate.

This paper describes a decision support system designed for hospital administrators to increase their analysis and management effectiveness.. Taking as a starting point recent researches, this study proposes a set of performance indicators, balancing organizational, structural and technological aspects, to be used together with widely adopted clinical indicators.
