What is it about?

"In our research, we wanted to figure out how hospitals can make their patients really happy with the care they receive, so they keep coming back. We used a special model and a survey to study this. What we found is that when patients expect good care and actually get it, they are more likely to be happy and stick with that hospital. So, hospitals should focus on meeting these expectations and providing top-notch care to keep their patients loyal."

Why is it important?

"Our study stands out because it combines two important tools, the SERVQUAL Model and the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), to create a model for building loyalty in hospitals. This model can help hospitals understand how to keep their patients happy and coming back. In today's healthcare landscape, where patient satisfaction is crucial, our research provides a practical approach for hospitals to improve their services and retain patients. This timely insight can benefit healthcare providers and researchers alike, making our work essential reading for anyone interested in enhancing the patient experience."
