When a person is sick and decides to seek treatment from a hospital, few questions run in his mind
which we call them 'the customers' needs and expectations'. He will be thinking whether the
treatment he needs is readily available in the hospital. Are the people there friendly? Will he be safe
and not lost in the compound of the hospital? How long he will wait to see the doctor and to take
medications? How much is the hospital fees? Will his sickness improve with treatment? His
perception of the hospital services sometime differs from what we understand. We produce a list of
what we promise to do in the form of a patient's charter, but sometimes this is not what the patient
needs or expects. The gap between the services the hospital can offer and the needs and expectations
of the patient will determine the level of satisfaction. Patient will be satisfied if he gets all that he
needs. He will be more satisfied if the hospitality rendered to him is beyond his expectation. Hence
hospital managers have to know the customers' needs and expectations before they can plan effective
hospital management practice to meet these needs and expectations. |
