Objectives: Patient experiences with the process of receiving services have a critical impact on attracting new customers and retaining old customers. The aim of this study was to explore the perception and importance of the service experience and its influence on loyalty among hospital outpatients.Methods: This study utilized a questionnaire survey to collect data and selected outpatients from a regional hospital in southern Taiwan as subjects. We sent out 562 questionnaires and a total of 503 valid questionnaires were returned. After testing the reliability and validity of the research data, we used Pearson's correlation and multiple regression to analyze that data.Results: We found that the most frequent perception among the experience dimensions was the feeling experience, and it was also the most important experience for outpatients. Perceptions of the feeling experience, thinking experience, and related experiences have a significant influence on outpatient loyalty.Conclusions: This study suggests that managers of hospitals should invest resources in enhancing the perceptions of relating, feeling, and thinking experiences in order to improve outpatient loyalty.
