Patient experience reflects patient’s comprehensive perceptions of service quality, the physical environment, and communication with healthcare providers. This study was motivated by the need to foster positive patient experience in the Pharmacy Installation of Graha Sehat Hospital, Probolinggo through improvements in service quality, servicescape, and effective communication. The objective of this research was to analyze the effects of service quality and servicescape on patient experience, with effective communication serving as an intervening variable. A quantitative approach was employed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS. A total of 180 outpatient pharmacy patients were selected through voluntary sampling, with the sample size determined based on Hair’s method. The findings indicate that service quality, servicescape, and effective communication simultaneously exert a positive and significant effect on patient experience. Partially, service quality has a positive and significant effect on patient experience, while servicescape does not have a direct significant effect on patient experience. Effective communication, however, demonstrates a positive and significant influence on patient experience. Furthermore, effective communication significantly mediates the relationship between servicescape and patient experience, but it does not mediate the relationship between service quality and patient experience. The managerial implications for hospital management highlight the need to strengthen service quality improvement strategies, optimize spatial layout and environmental comfort in the pharmacy setting, and establish concise communication standards that include essential medication counseling points. Such measures are necessary to ensure that communication quality remains consistent, even during peak patient volume periods with limited-service time.

The effectiveness of a retail store layout plays a crucial role in supporting operational efficiency, service flow, and customer experience. Brother Parfume, a perfume refill retail store, currently applies a bar-service layout designed based on intuition and daily operational needs rather than systematic planning. This often results in inefficient movement patterns, limited space utilization, and suboptimal coordination among functional areas. This study aims to redesign the store layout by applying the Entity Relationship Chart (ERC) and Total Closeness Rating (TCR) methods to identify functional relationships and determine the ideal spatial arrangement. Data were collected through direct observation and semi-structured interviews with the store owner to understand the interaction between service areas, product displays, and storage sections. The ERC analysis shows that the service area, perfume display, and bottle display have the highest functional interdependence, while the storage area has the lowest necessity for proximity. TCR results confirm these findings, with the service area and perfume display each scoring 90, bottle display 21, and storage 3. Based on these results, two alternative layouts are proposed that integrate high-priority areas into a unified service zone and position storage separately to minimize unnecessary movement. The redesigned layout is expected to enhance service speed, optimize space utilization, support operational procedures, and strengthen the store’s servicescape. This research contributes practical insights into the application of ERC and TCR methods for small-scale retail operations, particularly in the perfume refill sector, where service efficiency and spatial constraints are critical.
