Abstract :

Increased number of hospitals means increased competitors which can lead to a decreased utilization rate for some hospitals. This condition also affects Adi Husada Kapasari Hospital (AHKH) where the low inpatient utilization was shown by 43% BOR (Bed Occupancy Rate) in the year of 1999, while the Barber Johnson standard was 75–95%. The purpose of this research was to analyze customers’ expectation and their basis in choosing a hospital in order to determine AHKH market growth strategy. This was a surveillance research using questionnaires as a tool to collect data and carried out from mid April until mid July 2000. The location of study was a radius of 5 km interceptive coverage of AHKH. The sample was taken from the community who lived at the interceptive area of AHKH and its competitors, amounting to 144 people from 9 different economic levels taken by a multistage random sampling method. The result of the study revealed that the overall respondents’ characteristics at the interceptive area of AHKH had no influence towards choosing hospitals; that two organizations in the same business can suffer different judgement from the customers; that the basis in choosing a hospital was unexpensive tariff, complete medicalequipments, close distance between hospital and customer’s house; that the basis of not choosing a hospital was the lesser service quality, the long service waiting-time, the low empathy of hospital’s nurses and personnel, the expensive tariff and nurse’s insufficient skill. The customers’ expectation of AHKH service quality was comprehensive health-service products, complete and up-to-date medical equipments with the newest technology, skillful medical personnel, prompt and courteous hospital staff/nurse/doctor, clean and unexpensive tariff and easily accessed by public transport. The conclusion showed that the - 5 km interceptive area of AHKH- market had not been optimally formed due to the fact that only 4.86% of the community chose AHKH.Based on Matrix Ansoff, the AHKH position was located on the area of “available product/service but the market was not formed “, or AHKH was on the market development area. A market growth strategy was then determined by opening a general satellite outpatient clinic and a specialist’s clinic, by offering health products to captive markets, by completing specialized up-to-date medical instruments and by improving medical and paramedical skills.
