A Portrait of Socially Responsible Hospitals in Indonesia

This study’s purpose is to measure social performance in hospitals in Indonesia, specifically focusing on the tendency for hospitals to act in the process of achieving various targets with a focus on social impacts on the community, stakeholders, and the environment. Although previous studies on hospital performance exist, few focus on the aspect of social responsibility. This study offers a way to measure the current social performance of hospitals using valued reference by hospital stakeholders. This study uses descriptive analysis and ANOVA for the indicators of social performance in the context of hospitals in Indonesia. Data used are from the Indonesian Commission on Accreditation of Hospital (ICAHO). This study uses data from 752 accredited hospitals in Indonesia. Results show that there were no significant differences in social performance between the different classes of hospitals. Social performance was found to be moderate on average for all classes: A, B, C, and D. However, across different accreditation levels of hospitals in Indonesia, social performance is scored as moderate with significant differences between the groups of accreditations. The implications of the results from this study provide a practical reference point measuring social performance for accredited hospitals in Indonesia
