    INTRODUCTION

    $hysical evidence in any organisation is an asset especially for a service firm. :heservices are intangible in nature this intangibility ma+es the physical evidence

    more important. :he environment in #hich the services are delivered is +no#n as

     physical evidence. In a hospital physical evidence includes the odor in the hospital

    * the visiting cards provided to patients * cleanliness * structure of the building etc.

    the study on physical evidence in -t. -ebastian’s visitation hospital . helps to

    +no# more about the physical evidence of the hospital #hich #ill be helpful for

    the hospital authorities and the patients. .  $hysical evidence is one among the

    mar+eting mi, in service delivery. :he service firms must consciously ma+e

    efforts to manage the physical evidence. In case of hospital it is really important in

    maintaining attractive physical evidence. $hysical 'vidence is the environment in

    #hich service is delivered. :he services are intangible in nature. :he intangibility

    is the reason for the importance of physical evidence in the service mar+eting mi,.

    -o physical evidence in service industry is really important.Modern hospitals need to create a good ambience. ;ight from the reception one

    finds very cordial and comforting staff. :he ambience plays an important role

     because #hen a patient #al+s into the hospital he immediately forms an opinion

    about the hospital.  :he staff follo#s a dress code to sho# professionalism and to

    maintain discipline. :he staff is trained to be understanding* #arm and

    comforting because the clientele that goes to the hospital is usually disturbed or 

    unhappy. It is necessary for a hospital to be #ell organied and segregated into

    different departments. All the doctors should be offered #ith a #elleuipped

    cabin. :he entire hospital reuires to be centrally airconditioned #ith good

    lighting. ?entilation is ta+en care of by airconditioning. 

    -pecial care should be ta+en to maintain hygienic* cleanliness and #hole hospital

    must be #ell lit. :his is ta+en care of by the house+eeping department. A hospitalhas to +eep in mind both the aspects of physical evidence that is essential and

     peripheral evidence. $hysical evidence particularly plays an important role in the

    hospital #here the patients are already depressed or traumatied and a good

    atmosphere could ma+e all the difference.  -ervices as #e +no# are largely intangible

    #hen mar+eting. Ho#ever customers tend to rely on physical cues to help them

    evaluate the product before they buy it. :herefore mar+eters develop #hat #e call

     physical evidence to replace these physical cues in a service. :he role of the

    mar+eter is to design and implement such tangible evidence. $hysical evidence is

    the material part of a service

    "2"SCOPE OF THE STUDY

    :he study conducted in -t.-ebastain’s visitation hospital Arthun+al tells about the

    condition of physical evidence in the hospital. :he study #as about the uality of physical

    evidence and it helps the hospital in many #ays to +no# more about the environment in

    the hospital and the acceptance of the physical environment provided by the hospital #asrecognied. :he study provides a #ide scope for the administrators to loo+ into the

     physical evidence and ta+e corrective actions.

    "2'NEED AND SI!NIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

    :he problem is the physical evidence in hospital #ith special reference to -t.-ebastain’s

    ?isitation Hospital Arthun+al. $hysical evidence is one among the mar+eting mi, in

    service delivery. :he service firms must consciously ma+e efforts to manage the physical

    evidence. In case of hospital it is really important in maintaining attractive physical

    evidence. $hysical 'vidence is the environment in #hich service is delivered. :heservices are intangible in nature. :he intangibility is the reason for the importance of 

     physical evidence in the service mar+eting mi,. -o physical evidence in service industry

    is really important. (o# days there are several issues ta+ing place in any hospitals

    regarding the hygiene and facilities provided. -o the topic for the study regarding

     physical evidence in the hospital is a need in this current scenario.

    "2%REVIEW OF LITERACTURE

    $hysical 'vidence is the final element of the three additions to the basic mar+eting mi,

    as proposed by Booms and Bitner E0870F. :he evidence #hich sho#s that a service #as

     performed* such as the delivery pac+aging for the item delivered by a delivery service* or

    a scar left by a surgeon. :his reminds or reassures the consumer that the service too+

    Mar+eting has gro#n in importance for hospitals* loo+ing to strengthen their position in a

    A #orld class hospital is a multidisciplinary super speciality medical centre of international standards. Most hospitals today are #ell euipped #ith the most advanced

    EaF $eripheral 'vidence%

    $eripheral evidence is actually possessed as part of the purchase of a service. It has

    ho#ever little or no independent value. :hus a ban+ cheue boo+ is of no value unless

     bac+ed by the funds transfer and storage service it represents. An admission tic+et for a

    cinema eually has no independent value. It merely confirms the service. It is not a

    surrogate for it. $eripheral evidence Kadds to’ the value of essential evidence only as far as

    the customer values these symbols of service. :he hotel rooms of many large

    international hotel groups contain much peripheral evidence li+e directories* to#n guides*

     pens* notepads* #elcome gifts* drin+ pac+s* soaps and so on. :hese representations of 

    service must be designed and developed #ith customer needs in mind. :hey often provide

    an important set of complementary items to the essential core service sought by

    customers.

     possessed by the customer. (evertheless essential evidence may be so important in its

    influence on service purchase it may be considered as an element in its o#n right. :he

    -ervice organiations #ith competing service products may use physical evidence to

    differentiate their service products in the mar+etplace and give their service products a

    competitive advantage. A physical product li+e a car or a camera can be augmented

    through the use of both tangible and intangible elements.

    A car can be given additional tangible features li+e a sliding roof or stereophonic radio

    euipment a camera can be given additional tangible features li+e control devices #hich

    intangible elements may be used to augment the essential product offer. In fact

    organiations mar+eting tangible dominant products freuently use intangible* abstract

    elements as part of their communications strategy. -ervice mar+eting organiations alsotry to use tangible clues to strengthen the meaning of their intangible products.
