The United States healthcare economy exceeds USD 4.5 trillion in annual spending, spanning hospitals, insurers, and outpatient services. Patient experience increasingly determines provider choice and lifetime value across competitive regional markets. Quality surveys convert perceptions into measurable retention drivers insights.
Without structured consumer surveys, providers misread expectations and lose patients to higher rated competitors quickly.
- Operational blind spots persist, eroding loyalty, referrals, and reimbursement performance over time and margins decline.
- Service gaps remain unidentified across care journey touchpoints leading attrition.
- Staff training priorities misaligned with patient experience drivers and complaints.
- Investment decisions ignore satisfaction data, weakening retention economics and growth.

Nexdigm Case
A regional hospital network was losing 18 percent of patients each year and had low experience scores across locations. Nexdigm conducted a structured patient survey across 12 hospitals and clinics, reaching a 32 percent response rate. Results showed problems in appointment wait times, unclear discharge instructions, and confusing bills. The network simplified scheduling, standardized discharge communication, and redesigned billing statements. Within one year, patient loss fell to 11 percent and satisfaction scores rose by 14 points, improving retention and patient loyalty across the system.
