The primary study was conducted in four cities in Bengkulu province, Southwest Sumatra, Indonesia. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed in the survey to collect the dataset. The number of questionnaires distributed in the survey was 300 and 300 questionnaires were returned and analyzed. Factor analysis and cluster analysis were employed to the dataset. The result of the analysis reveals that service failure constructs can be categorized into six underlying dimensions such as Medical reliability errors, Physical evidences errors, Poor information, Medical treatment errors, Costly service, and Complaint handling failures. The study also indicates that hospital patients can be clustered into three segments, namely demanding segment, complainer segment, and salient patient segment.
