Improve the patient experience by measuring quality of care
Get clear insights from patients when it matters most.
It can be difficult to get a clear understanding of how patients really think and feel. Many healthcare professionals see an even bigger challenge with measuring the quality of care their patients receive. Feedback can help you gather insights along the patient journey so you can provide quality care that earns trust.
How can we ensure consistent patient experiences, wherever they receive care?
Today’s healthcare landscape can be difficult for anyone to navigate. People may start with a GP appointment, undergo tests at a hospital and pick up a prescription from their pharmacy.
That’s a lot of touchpoints.
One negative interaction can really impact how a person feels about their entire healthcare experience.
These tools, including healthcare surveys, can help you create positive patient experiences.
How can we protect our healthcare teams and employees?
The COVID-19 pandemic had a massive impact on healthcare workers across the world. Doctors felt overwhelmed; nurses were burned out; and teams across the spectrum of care were pushed to the brink.
How are clinicians, nurses and medical staff feeling now?
Being able to measure how your teams think and feel today is as crucial as ever. Get tools to help you navigate response plans and cope with new challenges, such as workforce engagement.

Advice from healthcare leaders
Here are some common mistakes and best practices for how to avoid them.
Common mistakes
Looking for ways to improve the patient experience or measure staff satisfaction? Here are some things you can avoid:
Asking too many questions in a patient or employee survey
Keep surveys and questionnaires short to ensure that they’re focused on providing accurate answers.
Asking patient questions for which you already know the answer
Avoid nonresponse bias by ensuring that patients complete your survey.
Not knowing where friction points are for patients
Make sure you’re actively addressing pain points, such as long waiting times at the surgery.
Sending patient satisfaction surveys at the wrong time
Send surveys immediately after patients' appointments so they’re more likely to respond.
