The enforcement of national health insurance brings the new transition of medical service. The main purpose of this study is to investigate patients¡¦ emphasis and satisfaction on different dimension of service quality. The study referred to industrial views, related literature review and 5Qs model (Zineldin, 2006). Eventually, the practical research results are used to conduct a competitive niche strategy and a positioning plan of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy market to seek the unique value of medical service differentiation.
According to the empirical view, the satisfaction and loyalty of those patients who had operations under the hospital treatment were significantly higher than those patients who didn¡¦t. ¡§Quality of atmosphere¡¨ and ¡§Quality of infrastructure¡¨ were the two factors which had positive impact on the satisfaction of patients. Also, ¡§Quality of medical care interaction¡¨ and ¡§Quality of atmosphere¡¨ affected the loyalty of patients greatly. Therefore, this study suggested that doctors should provide professional medical services to offer unique attributes which were valued by patients, and then achieved the influence of word-of-mouth marketing.
The Competitive strategy is (1) from standardization to differentiation: creating values to patients by standard operation procedure. (2) from selfish departmentalism to patient-orientation: providing more interactions during medical service to fulfill the cognitive and emotional needs of patients. (3) from tradition to innovation: carrying out a new model which was designed by whole new ideas to supply medical service with sustainable competitive advantage. (4) from closed to open environment: emphasizing on profession and abandoning asymmetric information to develop trust relationship between doctors and patients. The strategic positioning of ESWL is to provide cordial, effective and fast integrated medical service for patients, and the establishment of ¡§Shock Wave Lithotripsy Center¡¨ is the further step of this strategy.
