Why is it important?

This is a pioneering work carried out in the clinical laboratory sector in Mauritius. Medical practitioner expectations and perceptions have been simultaneously considered to generate a novel service quality framework for clinical laboratories.

Perspectives

The eight Service quality dimensions addressed in our developed framework is meant to suit clinical laboratories. They interact to enhance service quality, which impacts on customer satisfaction. The framework also allows flexibility about the service quality attributes which can be changed, modified or re-structured upon changing circumstances. The framework is moreover useful towards continual improvement as per the ISO 15189:2012 standard.
