Patient satisfaction

Healthcare service institutions (HSIs) have sought ways to motivate patient loyalty in response to surging rates of medical tourism. Previous research indicates that Hospital Information System (HIS) is essential for HSIs to gather, measure, and analyze the massive amounts of data required to generate patient loyalty. There is currently no consensus on the factors that comprise HIS specifically geared towards motivating patient loyalty (HISPL). Furthermore, HIS requires full adoption by HSI staff to be effective. Thus, to reduce wastage of HSI resources, it is necessary to predict whether a given HIS specifically geared towards motivating patient loyalty is likely to be adopted. The purpose of this study is to reveal the factors that comprise HISPL and to modify the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model to help predict the likelihood of an HISPL to be fully adopted by HSI staff. The results revealed that pertinent HISPL factors are capability, configurability, ease of use/help desk availability and competence (EU), and accessibility/shareability (AS). Using these factors, the UTAUT model was modified to fit the specific needs of HISPL. The modifications are theoretical and will have to be validated in future empirical studies.

Healthcare service institutions (HIS) seeking to motivate patient loyalty have identified Hospital Information Systems (HIS) as a potential solution to gather, measure, and analyze the healthcare data necessary for this goal. The purpose of this systematic review of the literature is to reveal how prevalent the use of HIS with respect to motivating patient loyalty, and to investigate the efficacy of HIS in doing so. To generate data, published empirical studies and conference papers from the past five years were compiled from the following online databases: Scopus, ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, and Emerald Insight. The search results indicate that, while the use of HIS in motivating patient loyalty is rare relative to other topics within the general field of HIS, HIS use have a significant positive impact on patient satisfaction, which is understood in the literature to be directly related to patient loyalty. There remains a gap in empirical studies on the direct application of HIS with the purpose of increasing patient loyalty. Future research may be required on the development of an HIS focused on motivating patient loyalty, which can be empirically tested in a real-world HSI setting.

today the speed of changes in dispensation have involved all businesses. these changes include product/service, customer services, and consumer behavior. so the present research has examined the effects of job crafting with mediation health services on patient satisfaction. statistical population of the present research consists of two groups: the first group is the recipient of health services of Persian Gulf Martyrs Hospital and the second group of doctors, nurses, services staff, and employees of Persian Gulf Martyrs Hospital that provide medical and health services. to assess the variables of the study, a questionnaire was used. The statistical population of the second group passed 1000 people and 304 of them answered the questionnaire.the research method according to the nature of the research is descriptive-survey research. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to evaluate the reliability of the questionnaire questions that evaluate were obtained 888/0 for the job crafting questionnaire and content validity was used to measure the validity of the research data collection tool. the Questionnaire was the tool for collecting data in this research and Smart PLS software was used to test hypotheses.results of structural equations showed that the job crafting variable has positive and significant effects on patient satisfaction and health quality, and the health quality variable has positive and significant on patient satisfaction. Health quality variable plays a positive mediating role in the relationship between job crafting and patient satisfaction.

Hospitals are the most important part of the healthcare system. Statistics show that a significant portion of health budgets are allocated to hospitals. The continuous impact of information technology on hospitals’ performance has led to perfect competition. Accordingly, this study aimed to evaluate the quality indicators of hospital services considering information technology using a hybrid approach of the Kano model, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Quality Function Deployment (QFD). In this regard, based on related studies, a total of 18 needs were recognized to evaluate the service quality of a hospital. The statistical population of the study consisted of patients of the hospital and due to the difficulty of access to the patient, a limited sample of 50 patients was selected. After collecting data, the identified needs were classified into three categories called basic, functional, and motivational using the Kano model, and 7 needs were set as basic needs. Then, using the AHP technique, the importance of the basic needs was calculated and considered as the input of the QFD model in the next phase. After providing some solutions based on the literature to meet these 7 needs, solutions were ranked and prioritized using the QFD model. Since the organization had limited resources, the Pareto technique was used to respond to 20% of these strategies and achieve 80% satisfaction. The results of the study showed that the hospitals can achieve 80% satisfaction by implementing the strategies of “holding ethics training courses online” and “creating team spirit and using health information technology in the hospital”, respectively.
