Studies on Customer Relations Management and Medical service satisfication under BOT Structure

With the high development of society and economy, the rising level of national education, and the awareness of consumer rights in Taiwan, consumers¡¦ demands for medical and health care is increasing. The role of consumers has transformed to actively select and require medical and health care. The implementation of the National Health Insurance leads to the role change of the medical provider from a price maker to a price receiver, which benefits hospitals with mass product and cost control. Therefore, price-drive medical consumers become quality¡Vdriven ones, which benefits hospitals with good faculty, facilities and service.
Nowadays, the hospital business environment is becoming more and more competitive. It is vital not only for hospital substantial business to create customer value of service and quality but also for hospital competitiveness to satisfy customer needs. The business strategy of hospitals is to greatly strengthen internal management and actively seek for the interaction with the external environment to keep survival and growth. Besides, hospitals apply CRM in order to attract new customers, retain old customers and to increase the profits of the customer contribution. Because of the limit of cost and budget tight policy, large hospitals are increasing their scale and the limited resource /number of customers. In this case, it is necessary for hospital¡¦s business strategy to focus on both quality and cost effectiveness. Hospitals build the tight relationship with customers so that they are willing to be diagnosed. Thus, Customer Relationship Management is the core competitive advantage for hospitals. Nevertheless, hospitals are less willing to purchase extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy machines for the sake of the tight finance budget. As far as medical device suppliers are concerned, they have to adopt BOT approach in order to maintain business growth. Regarding the medical service and cooperation model for renal calculus patients, we discover that it is the equipment suppliers that are responsible for CRM rather than hospitals establishment. The retention number and returning frequency is the key to the revenues of the equipment suppliers, which means the relationship between hospitals and suppliers are unbroken.
Our research indicates that the business model of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy machine can apply the concept of CRM. The medical equipment business and medical organization develop the model of the patient service with the base; CRM, the core value: customers and the hospital vision. We construct the ¡§four wins¡¨ model for the hospital, the patient, the Health Insurance Bureau and the business with the decision-making strategy, customer service and IT application.
