Abstract :

The background of this research was the low utilization of the Inpatient Unit of Guluk-Guluk Public Health Center (IUG-PHC) in Sumenep Regency. The average Bed Occupancy Rate (BOR) was only 21.03% from the year 1999 until 2005. It is unfortunate considering this unit is the highest contributing revenue (30.17%) compared to other units at Guluk-Guluk PHC. The general purpose of this research was to design a Customer Relationship Marketing (CRM) as an effort to improve the service quality of the IUG-PHC in Sumenep Regency. This was an observational cross-sectional research conducted for one month in June 2006, at Guluk-Guluk PHC with 43 inpatients (actual customers) as respondents, 87 outpatients visiting the PHC Ambulatory Clinic (potential customers), 15 staff of the Inpatient Unit and of the management as well. The research instrument was questionnaires with open and close questions to delve into customer characteristics, buying behavior, customer need and satisfaction. The secondary data was taken by checklist from the PHC. The majority of customer who used the Inpatient Unit had complicated buying behavior (65.1 %), many customer’s need were not fulfilled, among others the laboratory service (97.7%) which influenced diagnosis accuracy (58.1%) and medical cure precision (58.6%). The need for dispensary (97,7%) and nutrition services (58.1 %) were not fulfilled either. The dissatisfaction occurred in all RATER dimension; in consecutive order: the gaps between expected and perceived service were Responsiveness, Assurance, Tangible, Empathy and Reliability dimensions with an average of 0.5, yet the management perception towards the IUG-PHC was exceeding customer’s expectation. Alas, the perception had not been able to be embedded into employee’s behavior to satisfy the customers. The research recommendation are: (1) to open an information access on the IUG-PHC profile, (2) to hold a customer meeting forum, (3) to build customer complaint center through customer service, (4) to build an image of positive experience in order to spread by-word-of-mouth, and (5) to use customer database to do post-buying relationship. Beside customer relationship, the management of the IUG-PHC has to fulfill customer need and expectation. For that purpose, it is necessary to (1) improve employee’s sensitivity towards customer expectation, (2) build employee’s commitment to provide service delivery according to customer expectation,and (3) design the Standard Operational Procedure (SOP) according to customer expectation.
