Service quality is a performance indicator for health service providers such as hospitals. Hospitals will be more advanced if their performance can be maintained and improved according to patient demands. Therefore, hospital services must lead to market power so that the orientation of the hospital can retain customers so that the main objectives can be carried out properly. Customer satisfaction is one of the determining factors and is an indicator of quality and safety in the UPTD RSCM. Customer satisfaction at the UPTD RSCM is influenced by the factors of reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy and tangible assets of the Blood Service Technician (TPD). The effect of service and performance of medical staff on customer satisfaction at the Blood Transfusion Unit of RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo was carried out through research stages, namely: Analyzing the effect of service and performance of medical staff on patient satisfaction in the inpatient/or outpatient room of RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo.

INTRODUCTION

The hospital is an institution engaged in the field of health services (Jaya & Syarufudin, 2015). Likewise with the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM) which has a strategic role in efforts to accelerate the improvement of public health status. Especially in the Covid-19 pandemic situation. Based on Law No. 44 of 2009 concerning hospitals, what is meant by a hospital is a health service institution that provides comprehensive individual health services that provide outpatient, inpatient and emergency services (Robbins, 2002).

In accordance with the new paradigm in people's thinking, hospitals can provide quality services according to the needs and desires of patients while still referring to professional and medical codes of ethics (Saputra & Suranto, 2014). The health service industry, especially hospitals, in recent years has shown a development trend for both government and private hospitals in every region in Indonesia, making the service map for the health service industry increasingly stringent (Junaidin, 2018). This makes people more critical in choosing quality health services (Sharon & SANTOSA, 2017).

Service quality is a performance indicator for health service providers such as hospitals. Hospitals will be more advanced if their performance can be maintained and improved according to patient demands (Arifah, 2013). Therefore, hospital services must lead to market forces so that the orientation of the hospital can be maintained


customers so that the main objectives can be carried out properly. The image of health services in Indonesia is declining with indications of high public interest in seeking treatment abroad, such as Malaysia, Singapore and China. The general problem is that the quality of health services does not meet the standards and expectations of the community.

Every year, approximately 2 million Indonesians go abroad for treatment. When calculated, Indonesia lost a total of almost IDR 100 trillion because of this. The majority of Indonesian people who go abroad every year to get health services, be it to Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, America and to several other countries have spent 97 trillion in funds as stated by President Joko Widodo when inaugurating the groundbreaking. construction of the Bali International Hospital in Bali on December 27, 2021 (kompas.com, news, 2021) The motivations for Indonesian citizens to seek treatment abroad also vary, but there is a strong perception that in other countries, in terms of facilities, they are far superior to hospital facilities in Indonesia

According to Kotler in (Suwito, 2018) there are several factors that influence customer satisfaction, namely: first. Quality of service or services, that is, consumers will be satisfied if the service they receive meets expectations. Second, product quality, namely where consumers will feel satisfied if the product they get is of high quality. Third, price, namely products that have the same quality but relatively cheap or affordable prices will give the effect of added value to consumers. Fourth, the situation, namely the conditions experienced by consumers. Fifth, personal consumers, namely consumer characteristics that meet the personal needs of consumers.

According to Kotler in (Indrasari, 2019) there are several methods in standard customer satisfaction measurement, namely: 1) Complaint and suggestion system, namely the company provides broad opportunities for customers to submit suggestions or respond to complaints. 2) Ghoot shopping, which is one way to get a picture of customer satisfaction is to employ several people to act or act as potential buyers, to analyze weak points or strengths in serving a company's customers. 3) Lost customer analysis, namely the company's initiative to contact customers who have stopped buying their products as evaluation material. 4) Customer satisfaction surveys, namely efforts to find out customer satisfaction through research surveys, whether by post, tele-survey, or direct interviews with respondents. While the indicators of customer satisfaction according to Tjiptono in (Indrasari, 2019), namely 1) Conformity of expectations (expectations), 2) Interest in revisiting ( repurchasing), 3) Willingness promote.

Customer satisfaction is one of the determining factors and is an indicator of quality and safety in the UPTD RSCM in the annual data period and target achievement must be ≥ 85%. Customer satisfaction at the UPTD RSCM is influenced by the power factor


 

responsiveness, reliability and empathy of Blood Service Technicians (TPD). Based on previous research on customer satisfaction surveys for UPTD RSCM services in June 2021 conducted by STIKIM students (Indonesian Advanced School of Health Sciences) Jakarta, there are still patients, companions or patient families and room staff who feel dissatisfied with the services provided by UTPD, among the reasons that make customers feel dissatisfied with the services provided are such as the speed of service that is not responsive, lack of attention from officers, providing information that is less informative, delays in inspection results from the time stated promised.

Follow-up research (Jufrizen, 2015) conducted by STIKIM Jakarta students in July - August 2021 with a total of 373 respondents located in the Blood Transfusion Service Unit at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Jakarta (UPTD RSCM) based on the Likert scale assessment method concluded that out of 39 respondents (11.6%) stated that the responsiveness factor of blood transfusion service technicians was good but unsatisfactory in providing services, 46 respondents (13.3%) stated the reliability factor blood transfusion service technicians are good but unsatisfactory and 44 respondents (12.8%) stated that the empathy factor for blood transfusion service technicians is good but unsatisfactory in providing services (Jurnal Dohara Publisher Open Access Journal (DPOAJ), Vol.1 No.03, November 2021). Based on the results of this follow-up research, the authors consider it necessary to conduct research to see how far the UPTD RSCM has progressed in providing services to meet customer satisfaction and what are the recommendations for improving service quality at the UPTD RSCM in order to meet customer satisfaction expectations.

Given that the main function of Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital is to serve the community, the hospital needs to continuously strive to improve service quality (Sanusi, 2012), especially the human factor or HR as one of the service providers to the public within the organization is considered very decisive in producing high quality services. . The human resources at RSCM, both medical and non-medical, who work at this hospital must understand how to serve their customers well, both to patients and their families, because they are the main consumers in the hospital.

This study aims to determine the level of service importance applied in blood transfusion units both inpatient and outpatient and to determine the effect of service quality on customer satisfaction in the RSCM Blood Transfusion Unit (Ibrahim, 2007).

In this case, the UPTD needs to improve the attributes to increase consumer satisfaction. Based on the results of the research analysis on the level of consumer satisfaction on the performance of the RSCM Blood Transfusion Service Unit, it can be concluded that: First, the results of the Importance Performance Analysis calculation show that the attributes that are the top priority agenda for improving performance are the attributes of the skills of medical staff and timeliness in customer service . Second, by calculating the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI), the CSI value for service and performance in the RSCM Blood Transfusion Unit was 88.45%. This value indicates that the consumer satisfaction index at UPTD RSCM is in the category "satisfied".

In this study, there has been a positive trend development since 2019 � 2022, that the increase in service quality from the factors of reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy and tangible has a level of comparability in comparison between the level of performance (performance) and the level of importance (importance), the average index reach 100%. Although in general the results of the study prove that customers are satisfied with the services of the RSCM Blood Transfusion Unit, some improvements or improvements to service quality are still needed, such as the attributes of staff skills and efficiency and timeliness in serving customers, because this will have a positive correlation with improving the image of the Service Unit.
