The purpose of this study is to develop a convergence inpatient medical service patient experience management model(IMSPEMM) that can help in the management strategy of a medical institution to create a patient-centered medical culture. Using the original data from the 2018 Medical Service Experience Survey, 593 people with medical services inpatient(MSI) over the age of 15 were analyzed. By using the decision tree model, we developed a prediction model for overall satisfaction(OS) with the inpatient medical service experience(IMSE) and the intention to recommend patient experience(RI), and were classified into 4 and 7 types. The accuracy of the model was 68.9% and 78.3%. The OS level of IMSE was the nurse area and the hospital room noise management area, and the RI decision factor was the nurse area. It is significant that the IMSPEMM for MSI was presented and confirmed that the nurse area and the noise management area of the hospital room are important factors for the inpatient experience. It is considered that further research is needed to generalize the IMSPEMM.

This study aimed to elucidate the differences in nursing service experience according to the participants' characteristics and experience of hospitalization and to identify the relation between nursing service experience and perceptions of the health system. It analyzed the data from a "Survey of health care service experience" conducted among 574 participants who had been hospitalized. The results showed that the mean nursing service experience of participants who had never used other hospitals before hospitalization with over ten days of hospital stay was higher compared with the other participants. Moreover, those who used other hospitals before hospitalization reported lower nursing service experience scores. In the classification based on the change of the inpatient room, the difference in the nurse service experience according to the number of hospitalization days was significant only in patients who had no change in the inpatient room in the multi-person room. The nursing service experience scores were positively related to general satisfaction with the hospitalization experience, health system satisfaction, and trust in the health system. This finding implies that the nursing service experience should be interpreted by separating the inpatient experience, and the strategies to improve the nursing service are needed. In addition, the survey should include items related to the characteristics of medical institutions such as nurse staffing, to identify factors affecting the experience of nursing services.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of medical service quality perceived by general hospital inpatients on satisfaction and loyalty. Data were collected and analyzed through questionnaires of 310 hospitalized patients in general hospital in Gyeonggi-do. The main results of this study are as follows. First, the effect of medical service quality on satisfaction was statistically significant in procedural procedure, hospital life (doctor, nurse), employee friendliness, hospital environment and service satisfaction(p <.001). Second, the effect of medical service quality on loyalty was statistically significant in hospitalization (nurse), hospitalization (doctor), hospital environment and service loyalty(p <.05). Finally, the effect of inpatient satisfaction on loyalty was found to have a significant effect on satisfaction(p <.001). The higher satisfaction with medical service quality affects the loyalty, and it is an important factor in future re-hospitalization and recommendation of hospital to others. Therefore, management should establish policies on quality of medical service to improve the satisfaction and loyalty of hospitalized patients. It should be reflected.

This study provides fundamental data in order to obtain improved medical services and competitiveness by analyzing the satisfaction level of patients receiving inpatient services at general hospitals. Data from self-administered surveys distributed to inpatient subjects at local general hospitals was collected from 09/19/2011 to 09/30/2011. Firstly, the results of 320 surveys show that the average level of satisfaction from inpatient services was 3.25 (maximum 4.0). Secondly, the results from general characteristics and satisfaction from medical care provider services showed that there is a statistical significance regarding medical treatment, health condition, the number of times admitted to the hospital, and hospital environment including hospital admittance/release proceeders. Also the satisfaction with other services is statistically significant with regards to age, medical treatment, health condition, and the number of times admitted to the hospital. Thirdly, there is a statistically significant positive correlation between inpatient services and levels of satisfaction. Finally, from the analysis of factors influencing inpatient satisfaction showed that physician services and other services significantly affect satisfaction. In conclusion, in order to increase inpatient levels of satisfaction the workforce involved medical treatment of patients need to be retained and a variety of programs need to be in operation that will satisfy patients while they stay in the hospital. Further research is expected.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the medical service quality of the nursing hospital on the inpatients' satisfaction, reuse intention and to verify the mediating effect of the inpatients' satisfaction. The subjects of this study were 255 male and female inpatients in Hiroshima in Japan. The collected data were used as a model of path coefficients obtained through analysis of covariance structure and hypothesis test. As a result of verification, level of medical team and medical service, reception, facility and fee of the medical service quality of the nursing hospital perceived by the inpatients showed a statistically significant positive correlation with the inpatients' satisfaction. The inpatients' satisfaction showed a statistically significant positive correlation with their reuse intention. The level of medical team and medical service, reception, facility and fee of the medical service quality of the nursing hospital perceived by the inpatients shows a statistically no significant positive correlation with the reuse intention. But, they show a statistically significant positive correlation with the reuse intention with the mediating effect of the inpatients' satisfaction. Finally, the result of this study is to confirm the effect of the medical service quality on the inpatients' satisfaction, reuse intention of the nursing hospital. In this process, it is meaningful to verify the role and function of medical service quality of the nursing hospital.

Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the association between process quality of inpatient care and risk-adjusted, thirty-day potentially preventable hospital readmission (PPR) rates. Data Sources/Study Setting: This was an observational cross-sectional study of nonfederal acute-care hospitals located in two states California and Florida, discharging Medicare patients with a principal discharge diagnosis of heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, or pneumonia January through December 31, 2007. Data were obtained from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient Database of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Hospital Compare database, and the American Hospital Association Annual Survey of Hospitals. Study Design: The dependent variable of this study is condition-specific, risk-adjusted, thirty-day potentially preventable hospital readmission (PPR). 3M's PPR software was utilized to determine whether a readmission was potentially preventable. The independent variable of this study is hospital performance for process quality of inpatient care, measured by hospital adherence to recommended processes of care. We used multivariate hierarchical logistic models, clustered by hospitals, to examine the relationship between condition-specific, risk-adjusted, thirty-day PPR rates and process quality of inpatient care, after taking clinical and socio-demographic characteristics of patients and structural and operational characteristics of hospitals into account. Findings: Better performance on the process quality metrics was associated with better patient outcome (i.e., low thirty-day PPR rates) in pneumonia, but not generally in two cardiovascular conditions (i.e., heart failure and acute myocardial infarction). Practical Implication: Adherence to the process quality metrics currently in use by CMS is associated with risk-adjusted, thirty-day PPR rates for patients with pneumonia, but not with cardiovascular conditions. More evidence-based process quality metrics closely linked to 30-day PPR rates, particularly for cardiovascular conditions, need to be developed to serve as a guideline to reduce potentially preventable readmissions.

Recently, due to the temporary closure and isolation of facilities for developmental disabilities due to the prolonged COVID-19, the pain suffered by consumers is getting worse, and there is no clear solution due to the lack of information on inpatient services. Therefore, there is a need for a service system that can prevent institutional and psychological problems for consumers. The purpose of this study is to provide systematic inpatient treatment guides, post-discharge management, and correct education for children with developmental disabilities and their guardians. After deriving the needs and improvement factors of consumers through domestic service case analysis, we conducted co-creation with end-users using the double diamond methodology. A possible service concept was derived. Accordingly, a collaborative sharing app service was proposed, and the usefulness of the service was confirmed through the usability evaluation and verification of various stakeholders. It is expected that the results of this study will be utilized in the development of an assistance system for the developmental disability ward based on user experience.
