Abstract

This study presents strategic implications for enhancing the competitiveness of the comprehensive health examination center through the study of its impact on the switching barrier with medical service value and medical service satisfaction as parameters. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, a total of 324 questionnaires were analyzed for customers who received health examinations at the general examination center. Covariance structure analysis was performed to test hypotheses and causal relationships. The results showed that the physical environment had a significant effect on the medical service value and medical service satisfaction. The value of medical service also had a significant effect on medical service satisfaction. The value of medical service was found to affect the transition barrier, but the satisfaction of medical service did not affect the transition barrier. The implications of this study are that physical environment has a significant effect on medical service value and medical service satisfaction. Therefore, modern medical equipment should be equipped with the latest medical equipment to minimize accurate examination and misdiagnosis through modernization of medical examination center. In addition, since the value of medical service has a significant effect on the switching barrier, it is necessary to establish a plan to enhance the value of medical service. We need to promote sustainable customer retention and creation of new customers through differentiated screening items and cost advantages over competitors. In addition to check-up services, efforts should be made to enhance the value of services such as strengthening medical communication and medical complex cultural spaces, and at the same time, establish an organizational culture of customer-first examination centers through the placement of excellent personnel and continuous education.

본 연구는 종합검진센터의 물리적 환경이 의료서비스가치와 의료서비스만족도를 매개변수로 하여 전환장벽에 미치는 영향 연구를 통해 종합건강검진센터의 경쟁력을 제고할 수 있는 전략적 시사점을 제시하는 것이다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 종합검진센터에서 건강검진을 받은 고객을 대상으로 총 324부의 설문조사를 실시하여 분석하였다. 가설검정 및 인과관계를 확인하기 위해 공분산구조분석을 하였다. 연구결과 물리적 환경이 의료서비스가치 및 의료서비스만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 의료서비스가치도 의료서비스만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 의료서비스가치는 전환장벽에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났지만 의료서비스만족도는 전환장벽에 영향을 미치지 못했다. 연구의 시사점으로는 물리적 환경이 의료서비스가치 및 의료서비스만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으므로 종합검진센터의 현대화를 통한 정확한 검진과 오진을 최소화할 수 있는 최신 의료장비를 갖추어야 한다. 또한 의료서비스가치가 전환장벽에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으므로, 의료서비스가치를 제고할 수 있는 방안을 구축해야 한다. 경쟁 업체보다 차별화된 검진항목과 비용우위를 통해 지속가능한 고객유지 및 신규고객 창출을 도모해야 한다. 종합검진서비스와 함께 의료커뮤니케이션의 강화, 의료복합문화공간과 같은 서비스가치 향상을 위해 노력함과 동시에 우수 인력배치 및 끊임없는 교육을 통해 고객 우선의 종합검진센터 조직문화를 구축해야 한다.
