Customer, Patient & Member Experience

Find out where trust is built — and where journeys break down

We measure the experience of customers, patients, and plan members to show which service moments drive satisfaction, loyalty, and access — and which complaints are loud but not decisive.

Who it is for: Service, quality, and experience leaders in healthcare, care management, and consumer organizations who need to know where to intervene first.

Decisions this research supports

  • Which service moments most strongly shape satisfaction and retention
  • Where access barriers actually stop people — before they ever complain
  • Whether a service change improved experience or just changed the paperwork
  • How experience differs across populations the averages hide
  • What drives loyalty beyond a single NPS number

Capabilities

  • Customer satisfaction research
  • Patient and member experience studies
  • Access and service-barrier research
  • Loyalty and retention analysis
  • Customer journey mapping
  • Service recovery research
  • NPS programs — positioned as one metric within a design, not a research strategy by itself

Typical methods

  • Survey designs adapted to hard-to-reach and vulnerable populations
  • Multi-mode fielding (online, phone, paper) where the audience requires it
  • Journey-stage measurement tied to operational touchpoints
  • Key-driver analysis of satisfaction and loyalty
  • Subgroup reporting with small-cell protections

What you receive

  • Experience findings report organized by journey stage
  • Driver rankings that separate actionable causes from background noise
  • Population-level breakdowns for equity and access review
  • Question bank for continuing measurement in-house

Common questions

Do you work with Medicaid and care-management populations?

Yes — member experience research in Medicaid and care-management settings is a core specialization, including survey approaches suited to members who are rarely reached by standard online panels.

Is NPS enough to track experience?

NPS is a useful summary indicator, but on its own it cannot tell you what to fix. We treat it as one metric inside a design that also measures the specific service moments and barriers that move it.

Can findings support quality-improvement reporting?

Yes. Methodology, sampling, and limitations are documented to a standard suitable for quality-improvement programs, board reporting, and external review.
