Patients Demand Modern Experiences When Choosing Healthcare Services 

When looking for healthcare services, today’s patients are digitally-savvy researchers, driving a new wave of digital transformation in healthcare. Patients seek transparency in online reviews and social media. They expect provider experiences that are individualized, seamless, and anticipate their needs. Among healthcare executives surveyed by Accenture Digital Health Technology Vision, 81% say the pace of digital transformation for their organization is accelerating.

According to recent research by healthcare experience analytics company Press Ganey, more than half of consumers reported using the internet to find and select a new primary care provider. They’re twice as likely to use digital sources than a doctor’s referral to choose a primary care doctor. While much of consumers’ research is done online, nearly 70% of patients will call a healthcare provider before setting up an appointment, highlighting the importance of a positive experience with each phone call in driving business.

“This is a tipping point in the healthcare industry, and it requires technology to enable empathy at scale,” said Chris Pace, Senior Director of Digital Marketing at Banner Health, one of the largest nonprofit health care systems in the country. “Democratization of data and tying all your data together is foundational to making patient-first experiences scalable, and Invoca for Healthcare enables Banner Health to add conversation intelligence to the unified data set across the organization.”
