Unlike all other service industries, healthcare is one where people are ready to shell out money without negotiating. They are not ready to compromise on the medical treatment and care at any cost. Patients want a positive hospital experience for a speedy recovery. There are a number of areas of experience at the hospital.

  • Nursing & care

  • Canteen 

  • Hospital hygiene and sanitation

  • Washroom/Restrooms

  • Wards/OPDs for patients

  • Waiting area/Lounges for visitors

  • Medical care/Pharmacy

  • Staff/Doctors

  • Billing & payment

  • Parking & Security

 

IMPACT OF PATIENT’S EXPERIENCE ON THE BUSINESS

What we need to understand is, nobody willingly visits a hospital. It can be the most traumatic experience of one’s life. What the management needs to take care of is how to make that experience worthwhile as it is rightly said - “The best alley is the one that comes to rescue in your worst time.” In order to gain the trust of patients, it is imperative to listen to their issues and suggestions and act upon them without dawdling days. 

Word-of-mouth is the most powerful driver of growth for businesses in healthcare today, especially with social media today, the outcome can prove to be disastrous. It is important to get customer feedback and take action on the insights obtained at the earliest. In contrast, good feedback from patients appreciating the services can do wonders in getting your business. 

What is important to note here is that patients’ feedback is extremely important for businesses to improve their experiences. While some hospitals have moved to digital feedback systems, many still rely on pen-paper for feedback. 

 

CONVENTIONAL METHOD OF COLLECTING FEEDBACK 

The pen-paper feedback method is tedious and not very useful. 

  • No patient is willing to or has the energy to fill pages and pages of feedback forms. 

  • Hospitals have to incur recurring costs on paper and printing.

  • Additional staff is required to collate the data.

  • This results in errors and requires a lot of time. The whole purpose of taking quick actions on the negative feedback is lost if the processing cycle is too long. 

  • Various softwares are used to analyze the data which again is not cost-effective & time-effective.

 

REAL-TIME DIGITAL PATIENT FEEDBACK 

The shortcomings of pen-paper feedback are resolved with the digital method. It is a convenient and powerful method whereby as soon as feedback is punched in by the patient, it is visible on the dashboard instantly. It completely eliminates the need for human resources to collate and analyze data. In the case of negative feedback, alerts are sent to the concerned person for immediate action.
