Since service delivery by hospitals is a matter of patient lives which is highly intangible in nature and can't be physically viewed or touched like a manufactured product and since hospitals are becoming more complex and so have the competitive forces, opportunities for errors abound and as the patients are also demanding for better services, delivering an error free service has become a discerning tool in the never ending race among the corporate health care providers endeavors to attain the numerous top positions.
