HealthNet Grows Survey Volumes and Improves Patient Access

HealthNet faced significant challenges with its traditional paper survey approach. Patients were displeased with the process, and the collected data offered minimal insights, primarily who had shown up for their appointment, and nothing more.

Actions

HealthNet adopted Relias, resulting in a remarkable 1,167% increase in annual response rates, now receiving 19,000 responses per year. This shift provided immediate access to valuable patient feedback, enabling HealthNet to incorporate feedback mechanisms into daily routines for health center managers, nursing team leads, and service line directors. They expanded their survey initiatives to various aspects of their organization, including dietitian services, diabetes education, clinical pharmacy, homelessness programs, and a missed appointment survey.

Results

HealthNet gained instant results and a more nuanced and deeper grasp of patient experience metrics. They can now address pressing patient needs immediately and understand the root cause behind good or bad experiences by service line, initiative, or provider. They’re addressing community needs by understanding patient access barriers and working to create solutions.
