Aims: This study aims to determine the frequency distribution of service recovery patients, patient satisfaction, and the relationship between services and service recovery patient satisfaction to improve service recovery.

Methods: The authors used a cross-sectional research design. The sample was inpatients at RSUP M. Djamil in total of 424 people. The sampling technique was consecutive sampling. The data were collected using the Importance Performance Analysis questionnaire. Data were analyzed using unpaired t-tests and multiple linear regression.

Results: The results of the service recovery (distributive justice, procedure justice, interactive justice, reputation justice) has a significant relationship (p-value <0.05) with patient satisfaction. Interactive justice has the strongest relationship with appropriate patient satisfaction and has the greatest Beta value (0,254). Patient satisfaction has a significant relationship (p-value <0.05) with Word of Mouth.
