The role of private hospitals is increasingly important in Vietnam. The study aims to determine associations between service quality and hospital brand image with satisfaction and patient loyalty, revisit intention at private hospitals in Vietnam. Quantitative cross-sectional data were collected from 268 patients in DaNang city, Vietnam. Scales to measure hospital service quality, hospital brand image, patient satisfaction, loyalty, and patient revisit intention were developed. The methods used to test the hypotheses of the study include exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modeling (SEM). One notable finding in this study provides practical evidence on the relationship of hospital service quality and hospital brand image with patient satisfaction and loyalty. In addition, service quality has a direct influence on patient satisfaction and revisit intention as the indicator of patient loyalty. Meanwhile, hospital brand image has a direct influence on patient loyalty, although it did not influence patient satisfaction. Results of this study help providing the basis for the marketing and customer care programs of private hospitals in DaNang city, Vietnam.

 The aim of the present study is to determine the effects of hospital service qualities on patient satisfaction in the healthcare sector of Pakistan. By using the non-probability sampling, 292 sample was gathered. Emotional exhaustion, organizational citizenship behavior, hospital and nurses facilities were used as predictors and trustworthiness was used as a moderator. The results from structural equation modeling revealed that hospital facilities quality and OCB have been found positively significant while nursing service quality and emotional exhaustion have been found insignificant in relation with patient satisfaction. Moreover, trustworthiness does not moderates any relationship in the structural model. The study concluded that the staff allocated is manifesting form of behavioral citizenship structured by cultural decorum and locally acceptable norms. Alongside citizenship, high quality miscellaneous supportive provisions comprising of sufficient backup equipment, medical apparatus and tools as well as the regular maintenance of utilities stand as considerable satisfaction determining aspects for patients. The cognitive dimensions in the form of trust structuring attributes don’t really add much to the contributions of facilities and citizenship found in hospitals.

Brand image (BI) is a relatively new concept in the healthcare sector and its value is important for healthcare organizations to survive in this competitive era. Extant research in academics shows the diversity in determinants of patient satisfaction (PS), perceived service quality (PSQ), loyalty and brand image (BI) in the healthcare sector. The large numbers of existing studies mainly emphasize constructs such as PS, PSQ or the relationship between these two, taking into consideration other factors like cost and loyalty. The purpose of this study is to systematically review and summarize current research as well as propose a conceptual model of hospital brand image and its impact on patient loyalty through PSQ and PS. We provide a research framework for future theoretical and empirical studies on the impact of BI on patient loyalty.

Abstract Background: This study seeks to explore the relationship of service quality, brand image, perceived value, service satisfaction and loyalty in China’s private dental clinics. Methods: This is a cross-sectional survey study, being conducted in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China in January 2019. The participants were selected by convenience sampling method. A total of 230 residents were surveyed. Among them, 125 had received services in private dental clinics, being the valid sample of this study. A multiple regression model was run to explore factors influencing patient loyalty. Subsequently, the path analysis was used to understand the relationship of service quality, brand image, perceived value, patient satisfaction, and patient loyalty. Results: After controlling for the effect of demographic and socio-economic variables, perceived value and patient satisfaction have significant influences on patient loyalty. The path analysis indicates the perceived value, perceived quality, and expected quality have direct effects on patient satisfaction, and have indirect effects on patient loyalty, with patient satisfaction as a mediator. Additionally, perceived value has a direct and indirect effect on patient satisfaction. Conclusion: This study helps managers in private dental clinics to gain support from customers through building customer loyalty towards dental clinics.

Purpose Limited research has investigated the antecedents of halal restaurant’s brand image and its consequence to customer’s revisit intention empirically. This study aims to fill this gap by providing an insight into the relationship of halal restaurant brand image toward revisit intention, and the crucial antecedents of halal restaurant’s brand image, taking Rumah Makan Padang as a unit of analysis. Rumah Makan Padang (Padang Restaurant) is a type of halal restaurant in Indonesia originating from West Sumatra. These restaurants are widely spread in Indonesia and also in other countries where Indonesians migrate. Design/methodology/approach The research design was cross-sectional. Data were collected from various Rumah Makan Padang in West Sumatera, Indonesia. The proposed model was tested using structural equation modeling with a sample size of 450 respondents. Findings This study confirmed that halal restaurant’s brand image has a significant positive effect on customer’s revisit intention. Furthermore, the antecedents of halal restaurants brand image (i.e. service quality, health awareness and religiosity) were also found to have significant positive effect on halal restaurant’s brand image, Whereas, halal preferences do not have an influence on its brand image. Originality/value To the author’s knowledge, this study is among the first to provide a holistic approach toward the antecedents of halal restaurants brand image (i.e. halal preference, service quality, health awareness and religiosity) and investigated the effect of halal restaurant’s brand image on customer’s revisit intention. This study also proves the effect of religiosity on brand image, which has not been discussed in previous studies. From a market-specific context, this is also the first study that investigated the antecedents of Rumah Makan Padang’s brand image and its consequence to revisit intention.

Background: With increasing demands for medical treatment and healthcare, private hospitals have enjoyed rapid development, and the quality and satisfaction ratings of their medical services have gradually become hotspot issues. We aimed to investigate the influencing mechanisms of medical service quality, patient perceived value, patient satisfaction, and patient loyalty. Methods: On the basis of improved patient perceived value, service satisfaction, and loyalty scales, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 300 patients in 15 private hospitals in China. The action mechanisms of medical service quality, patient perceived value, patient satisfaction, and patient loyalty were verified via SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 20.0 statistical software. Results: The service quality of private hospitals was positively correlated with patient perceived value, patient satisfaction and patient loyalty. Patient perceived value was positively correlated with patient satisfaction. Patient perceived value, as well as patient satisfaction was positively correlated with patient loyalty. Patient perceived value and patient satisfaction play a mediating role between medical service quality and patient loyalty. Patient perceived value and patient satisfaction play a chain mediating role between medical service quality and patient loyalty. Conclusion: 1) Improving medical service quality is the main path to acquire patient loyalty for private hospitals. 2) When accepting high-quality medical services, patients will think that the cost paid is reasonable, and their satisfaction with private hospitals will consequently increase. 3) As patient satisfaction with private hospitals is elevated to a certain degree, they become increasingly willing to choose these hospitals again and recommend them to others.

Research related to the Effect of Service Quality, Image, and Business Ethics on Patient Satisfaction and Loyalty at Hospitals in Makassar City. This research was conducted which aims to: (1) test and analyze the effect of service quality, image, business ethics on patient satisfaction, (2) test and analyze the effect of service quality, image, business ethics on patient loyalty, (3) test and analyze the effect satisfaction with patient loyalty, (4) test and analyze the indirect effect of service quality, image, and business ethics on patient loyalty through mediating patient satisfaction. This study uses primary data through distributing questionnaires to a total of 203 inpatients as samples from the total number of patients in 2018 totaling 69.337, data collection was carried out from December 2019 to January 2020. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis with program assistance AMOS and SPSS. The results showed that (1) service quality, image, and business ethics had a positive and significant direct effect on patient satisfaction, (2) service quality, image, and business ethics had a positive and significant direct effect on patient loyalty, (3) satisfaction has a positive and not significant direct effect on patient loyalty, (4) an indirect relationship of service quality, image, and business ethics, through mediation satisfaction has a positive and not significant effect on patient loyalty. This means that the provision of good quality services, the application of the hospital's image, and the application of ethical behavior will have a direct role in patient satisfaction and loyalty. Patient satisfaction does not significantly affect patient loyalty due to the existence of a system of tiered referral system which makes it impossible for patients to directly choose the hospital, except in an emergency. Quality of service, image, and business ethics through satisfaction has a positive and not significant effect on patient loyalty. This shows that patient satisfaction is not able to mediate to have a significant influence on patient loyalty.

Purpose: This study aims to analyse brand image (BI)–service quality (SQ)–patient satisfaction (PS)–loyalty in healthcare by understanding BI and SQ modelled as multidimensional constructs in Indian healthcare. Furthermore, the mediating effect from BI to loyalty through SQ and PS is examined. Design/methodology/approach: Analysis of survey data of 210 patients from Indian hospitals reveals that BI directly affects SQ, PS and loyalty, that SQ directly influences PS, that PS directly influences loyalty of patients and that PS and BI are significant determinants of loyalty. Findings: Our findings suggest that BI has both a direct and indirect (through SQ and PS) impact on loyalty of patients. Moreover, the mediation of BI to loyalty through SQ and PS is partial and complementary mediation. Practical implications: By understanding the relationship between BI, SQ, PS and loyalty, managers will be able to better understand the mechanism to enhance loyalty. As BI impacts loyalty indirectly through SQ and PS, managers need to improve quality, which will enhance satisfaction of patients and thus help in the formation of loyal patients. Originality/value: This study shows how the mediating effect of SQ and PS can be used to improve patient loyalty by building positive BI.
