HCXperience Inc. is the creator of hcXp, a cloud-based application that will replace the traditional paper patient satisfaction surveys in healthcare. By engaging the patient at point of care (POC), we can retrieve vital and immediate patient experience feedback data and obtain real-time benchmark and comparison reports.
The HCXperience team is comprised of a group of compassionate and driven Healthcare professionals with over 100 years of combined experience serving the Healthcare Quality Improvement Industry.
There are four main problems with the current patient satisfaction surveys:
The average response rate for patient satisfaction surveys is a paltry 32%. A Forbesarticle from a couple years ago highlighted the problem:
“Response rates have been dramatically declining over the past decade,” says Paul Alexander Clark, founder of SmartPatient, a health care analytics company. He should know: Until 2007 Clark was in charge of Press Ganey’s patient-satisfaction improvement group. The response rates, he says, are now “too low to produce reliable results.” Insiders have known this for a decade. “This is a dirty little secret in our industry,” a senior Gallup executive wrote in a 2002 letter to the CMS chief. “At those levels the standard rules of probability don’t exist. This means you may or may not be tracking real patient attitudes.”
Patients often don’t receive surveys in the mail until months after their hospital visit. Who’s going to remember anything from that long ago, let alone feel the need to voice their opinion about it?
So these paper surveys are sent out months later and less than ⅓ come back. What happens to them at this point? They get hand-scanned and filed away someplace no one will ever see it. No actionable data can be pulled from disjointed PDF files on a computer. And even if they could get data, what good would it do nearly a year after discharge?
It’s 2015 — we don’t need to be sending paper surveys through the mail anymore. This is a wasteful process that doesn’t even work.
Frankly, we find all of this is embarrassing, having been deeply involved in Healthcare Quality Improvement Industry for so many years. We formed HCXperience Inc. to finally make a long overdue change to the system.
hcXp is a complete overhaul of an antiquated system in healthcare. It is a green solution to a broken system that has been in question for many years.
hcXp is a customizable, real-time, cloud-based survey that provides confidential, on-site patient satisfaction surveys using iPads and tablet PCs leading to valuable instant feedback and comparison reports. All responses are mined to created actionable data and meaningful improvements in healthcare facilities.
hcXp delivers an 84% response rate compared to the abysmal 32% of the current system.
iPads are given to patients before they leave the facility. There’s always downtime as you wait for doctors and nurses to bring you paperwork, discharge you, etc. so we fill this time with the survey. Patient experiences are easier to recall, their responses are more accurate, and survey questions can be tailored to their specific visit. Real-time data collection allows doctors and nurses to see how they are doingtoday, not last year — and most importantly, actually make improvements.
While traditional surveys are mandated, we target healthcare providers outside of these mandates, those that actually want to improve and use our customizable surveys to help them create actionable data to improve. In the end, improving their process and the patient experience will only help them make more money.
This isn’t some kind of revolutionary idea: it’s 2015 — iPads and tablets exist. Why are we still using paper surveys? Mobile is simple, clean, and efficient.
hcXp by HCXperience has lessened the need for man hours and lowered costs associated with survey data collection to all healthcare providers.
We are starting to see some great traction in our second year…
Currently over 5500 patient satisfaction surveys launched with an 83% Overall Response Rate!
