Patient Experience Survey
Understand how patients evaluate provider choice, navigate appointments, and weigh clinical communication, care coordination, facilities, and costs, so you can sharpen service positioning, improve conversion, strengthen retention, prioritise operational fixes, and segment patient needs.
CONTEXT & RELEVANCE
Why run this survey now
Most providers don't lose patient trust purely on clinical outcomes. They underperform due to access friction, unclear communication, inconsistent coordination, unexpected costs, and weak follow-up, none of which fully show up in complaints logs or satisfaction scores.
If you are...
- Hospital experience leaders
- Chief medical officers
- Patient services heads
- Hospital operations teams
- Health network strategists
You're likely facing...
- Strong clinical outcomes coexist with weak patient advocacy after discharge.
- Appointment bottlenecks create avoidable patient leakage before consultation.
- Inconsistent staff communication causes confusion across care stages .
- Unexpected charges reduce trust in provider transparency and payment acceptance.
- Limited follow-up visibility weakens continuity and repeat preference .
This will help answer...
- Provider choice drivers
- Access friction priorities
- Care communication gaps
- Service recovery triggers
- Loyalty segment profiles

Hospital Appointment Channel Preference and Access Friction Study (India)
OBJECTIVE
A pan-India hospital network needed to understand how working adults , older patients , and caregivers chose between call centres, apps, websites, and walk-ins, including abandonment, urgency, and confidence during appointment booking.
WHAT WE DID
We ran a structured survey across six metros and tier-two cities, balancing new and returning users. The instrument captured channel awareness , booking effort , wait tolerance , specialty urgency, and reasons for switching or abandoning.
DELIVERED
The engagement produced a channel preference map , appointment friction list , segment-level abandonment triggers, specialty-specific access expectations, and prioritised channel levers for communications, staffing, callback design, and digital booking improvements planning.
