Abstract

Introduction: Service excellence is an important component of quality healthcare, particularly in inpatient settings where patients have frequent interactions with healthcare workers. Effective communication, empathy, responsiveness, and professionalism can contribute to positive patient experiences and strengthen patient trust. This community service activity aimed to enhance healthcare workers’ capacity to implement service excellence in improving inpatient trust at RSNU Tuban.

Methods: This activity was conducted at RSNU Tuban and involved 20 healthcare workers. The program consisted of educational sessions, interactive discussions, case-based learning, and simulations focusing on effective communication, empathy, responsiveness, professionalism, patient-centered care, and complaint handling. Participants’ understanding and practical skills were evaluated through observation, discussion, and responses to case scenarios.

Results: The activity demonstrated active participation and improved understanding of service excellence principles among the participants. Healthcare workers were able to identify common challenges in inpatient services and demonstrated better responses to patient needs and complaints. Simulation activities also supported participants in practicing effective, empathetic, responsive, and professional communication.

Discussion: Capacity building through service excellence training can support patient-centered care and strengthen healthcare workers’ ability to establish positive relationships with patients. Case-based learning and simulation provide practical opportunities to translate service excellence concepts into daily inpatient practice. Continuous training, supervision, and evaluation are recommended to sustain implementation and improve patient experiences.
