The methodology adopted in this research was interpretive structural modelling (ISM) and Matrice d'Impacts Croises Multiplication Appliquee a un Classement (MICMAC) analyses to identify and classify the healthcare quality dimensions (HCQDs), typically identified by an extensive literature review and through experts opinion. The integrated model revealed quality dimensions such as state of knowledge management'; services of HCE for disease burden of society' and 'patient expectation and perception of hospital services' as dependent HCQDs. 'Priority area management for critical care' and 'treatment chain management including referral and evacuation chain management' were found as the linkage quality dimensions.
