Frequently Asked Questions

When should I send this survey?

Send within 24-48 hours after the appointment while the experience is fresh. Same-day for routine visits, or a day later for more complex appointments.

How do I address wait time complaints?

Analyze patterns in feedback to identify bottlenecks. Consider scheduling adjustments, patient communication about delays, or process improvements.

Is this HIPAA compliant?

The form itself doesn't collect PHI. Ensure your survey platform and data handling comply with HIPAA requirements for patient communications.

What's a good patient satisfaction target?

Industry benchmarks suggest 85%+ satisfaction is good, 90%+ is excellent. Focus on consistent improvement rather than just hitting a number.

Can I customize for different appointment types?

Yes, the form can be adapted for different visit types - routine checkups, specialist consultations, procedures, or telehealth appointments.
