It presents and evaluates the FM service quality standards in Singapore?s hospitals from the patient?s perspective, and provides recommendations on how to successfully improve FM service quality and achieve higher patient satisfaction. The book also features valuable supplementary materials, including a checklist of 32 key factors for successful facilities management and another checklist of 24 service attributes for hospitals to achieve desirable service quality in connection with facilities management. The book adopts a unique approach of combining service quality and quality theory to provide a more holistic view of how FM service quality can be achieved in hospitals. It also integrates three instruments, namely the SERVQUAL model, the Kano model and the QFD model to yield empirical results from surveys for implementation in hospitals. Although the book was written from the perspective of FM service quality for hospitals, the findings and recommendations are also relevant for other non-healthcare sectors where appropriate lessons may also be drawn for FM and service quality in general. It will particularly benefit Quality Managers, Facilities Managers and Hospital Administrators. 606 $aFacility management 606 $aMedicine$xPractice 606 $aHealth services administration 606 $aHealth services administration 606 $aFacility Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23063 606 $aPractice and Hospital Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H68000 606 $aHealth Care Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/527030 615 0$aFacility management. 615 0$aMedicine$xPractice. 615 0$aHealth services administration. 615 0$aHealth services administration. 615 14$aFacility Management. 615 24$aPractice and Hospital Management. 615 24$aHealth Care Management. 676 $a658.2 700 $aSui Pheng$b Low$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0929407 702 $aRui$b Zhu$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254216703321 996 $aService Quality for Facilities Management in Hospitals$92517801 997 $aUNINA
