Development of kano model and quality function development integration to assess customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction of service at local public hospital.
The intensifying patient complaints on service delivery performance of local public healthcare institution are critical and incrementally raised. New methodologies are needed to address the complexity of patient expectation before the quality of service delivery can be improved. This issue needs to...

Norshahrizan Nordin The intensifying patient complaints on service delivery performance of local public healthcare institution are critical and incrementally raised.

The intensifying patient complaints on service delivery performance of local public healthcare institution are critical and incrementally raised. New methodologies are needed to address the complexity of patient expectation before the quality of service delivery can be improved. This issue needs to be solved instantly by establishing the service satisfaction model to understand the nature of patient’s expectation towards service delivery. As a result, the developed service satisfaction model has contributed to be inaccurate to understanding of patient’s behavior towards healthcare service. The non-linear assumption should be considered for better accuracy since the non-linear patient’s expectation remains undefined. This thesis aims to develop the non-linear service satisfaction model that assumes patients are not necessarily satisfied or dissatisfied with good or poor service delivery. With that, compliment and compliant assessment is considered, simultaneously. Non-linear service satisfaction instrument called Kano-Q and Kano-SS is developed based on Kano model and Theory of Quality Attributes to define the unexpected, hidden and unspoken patient satisfaction and dissatisfaction into service quality attribute. A new Kano-Q and Kano-SS algorithm for quality attribute assessment is developed based satisfaction impact theories and found instrumentally fit the reliability and validity test.
