Healthcare quality (HQ) became eminent during the COVID-19 crisis. Despite the efforts made by the Ministry of Health in Oman, the country faced several challenges, such as a lack of available funds and patients perceived in a negative manner which hindered their treatment experience. The study examines factors affecting HQ using the SERVQUAL model; patient satisfaction in Omani public hospitals, including healthcare quality, resources availability (RA), and healthcare facility preparedness (HFP); and the moderation effect of the perceived risk of COVID-19 pandemic. This research uses a mixed method with a sample size of 387 patients (quantitatively) selected using probability random sampling of 8 patients (qualitatively) who visited public hospitals The findings from the quantitative analysis reveals that the tangibility and RA had insignificant effect on the HQ. The moderation effect of perceived risk of COVID-19 between HQ, RA, HFP and patient satisfaction was insignificant. The results of the qualitative analysis indicated other factors that affected patient satisfaction, including communication, helpfulness, compassion, physician professionalism, patient-doctor contact, waiting time, atmosphere, and cleanliness. The study proposed a strategy for technical categories that include professional skills, service outcomes and concrete quality aspects, and functional categories. The study has also recommended implications for further investigation.

The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of quality of healthcare offered in Lebanese hospitals on Lebanese patients of different educational level, age, monthly income, family status... Moreover, this study aimed to show whether there is a difference in satisfaction between accredited and non-accredited Lebanese Hospitals. An empirical study was performed using a survey questionnaire which was distributed to 1000 Lebanese patients. 226 patients responded to the questionnaire, 91 from accredited hospitals and 110 from non-accredited ones. Descriptive statistics were conducted followed by a reliability test, Factor Analysis, Multiple Regression with Stepwise method, Independent T-Test and One way ANOVA. Empirical evidence from this study shows that there were quality health factors that positively correlated with level of satisfaction of patients with the care in the hospital. Nevertheless, patients of accredited hospitals were more satisfied than patients of non-accredited h ...
