The expectation of six hospital outpatients 600 was analyzed by six consumption values categories: functional value, social value, emotional value, rarity value, condition value, health related values. The main results of this research is as following; 1. In the result of factor analysis 22 consumption value factors which affect the hospital preference were extracted; kindness/clearness, service speed, comfort of space, technical competence in functional values, high income/active social life, low income/blue collar unmarried/man, middle aged/big family, woman/married, introvert in social values, high-class, comfort, reliability in emotional value, newness, classiness in rarity value, social relationship, close to residence, social reputation in conditional values, priority on health, health behavior, active sense of value on health in health related values. 2. The difference of consumption values among hospital types were analyzed. The critical factors in reference for corporate hospitals newly established were kindness/clearness, service speed, convenience, classiness, comfort, and newness. University hospitals were preferred by the factors of reliability, and social reputation. In general hospital, convenience and close to residence were critical factor. 3. In logistic regression, age, marital status, education level and income as socio-demographic variables were significantly related to general hospital choice. Also service speed and close to residence were positively and high income/active social life and high class value were negatively related to general hospital choice. On university hospital choice, age and marital status, education show posive relationship whereas income showing negative relationship. Kindness/clearness, service speed, comfort of space, unmarried/man, comfortable feeling, newness and close to residence showed negative relationship with university hospital selection whereas technical competence, reliability in emotional value, classiness in rarity value, social relationship in functional values showed positive relationship. Lastly kindness/clearness, comfort of space, high income/active social life, unmarried/man, high-class, comfort and newness were positively related to corporate hospitals newly established choice in contrast to negative relationship in reliability in emotional value and classiness. In summary, we found that hospital user also choose to hospital in base of various consumption value. Further studies to investigate the hospital consumer behavior will be needed.

본 연구는 병원 이용자의 병원선택요인이 고객만족과 재이용의도에 미치는 영향을 체계적으로 분석하기 위한 목적으로 수행하였다. 가설 검증을 위해 부산, 울산, 경남지역 3개 종합병원을 이용한 외래환자 및 보호자를 대상으로 2014년 6월 1일부터 6월 28일까지 4주간 직접 설문조사를 통해 519부의 자료를 수집하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 병원선택요인 중 인적요인, 접근성요인, 대외이미지요인은 고객만족에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 물리적요인, 효율성요인은 고객만족에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 분석되었다. 그리고 병원선택요인 중 대외이미지요인이 재이용의도에 유의한 영향을 보였으며, 고객만족 또한 재이용의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 통해, 병원경영진이 환자만족도와 재이용의도를 높여 궁극적으로 수익성의 제고로 연결시키기 위해서는 경영전략의 수립 시 병원선택에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요인들의 역학관계를 고려하는 것이 매우 중요함을 시사해 주고 있다.

병원 경영에서 가장 중요한 것은 환자들의 필요와 욕구를 파악하는 것이라고 할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 이를 위해 상대적 중요도를 파악할 수 있는 분석기법인 AHP를 이용하여 환자들이 병원을 선택함에 있어서 AHP의 적용을 통한 그 요인들 간의 상대적인 우선순위를 파악하려는 데 그 목적이 있다. 환자들의 병원선택요인을 파악함으로써 의료기관이 중요성을 분석하여 병원이미지 개선 및 의료의 질 향상에 도움이 될 수 있도록 모색해 보고자 한다. 먼저 12개의 병원선택요인 중에서 병원의 전문성, 다양한 진료과목, 직원의 친절도, 의사의 설명 및 진찰시간 등과 같이 환자와 직접적으로 연관되어 있는 요인들이 중요도 및 가중치가 높게 나타났다. 또한 병원 주차장, 대중교통의 편의성, 의료장비 등이 상대적으로 중요도 및 가중치가 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과는 병원의 효과적인 이미지 개선 및 의료의 질 향상 전략에 중요하다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 광주시 소재 의료기관들은 병원 마케팅을 위해 병원선택에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 고려한 병원경영 방침을 개선하여 병원이미지 개선 및 의료의 질 향상에 노력할 필요가 있다.
