政府實施全民健康保險後, 國內醫療環境遽變, 民眾就醫選擇呈現自由且多樣化, 使得醫療機構開始有經營管理的理念, 品牌形象的建立, 目的吸引更多的醫療顧客, 使醫療事業永續生存, 也是現今醫療機構經營管理者必須探究的主要課題。 本研究旨在探討就醫民眾基本特性之不同, 其就醫行為、就醫選擇及對醫療機構品牌形象認知的差異。民眾就醫行為之不同, 其就醫選擇及對醫療機構品牌形象認知的差異。最後分析民眾就醫選擇因素與構成醫療機構品牌形象要素之間是否相關。以台灣中部地區, 十五家醫院包含; 四家醫學中心、三家區域醫院、八家地區醫院, 針對一般性門診( 內、外、婦產科)就診民眾為研究對象,採便利取樣方式,共計發出500 份問卷, 回收有效問卷484 份。 研究結果發現, 民眾就醫行為與其職業、教育程度、就醫交通工具之不同而有顯著差異。就醫選擇因素之集群與構成醫院品牌形象要素之集群間,以簡單線性迴歸分析,驗證結果,兩者之間有顯著相關。 研究結果提供醫療機構之經營管理者, 做為醫院經營方向及競爭策略計劃之參考。
