Customer experience, undeniably, is important in any business today. However, in a healthcare business, its importance is accentuated manifold. It would not be incorrect to say that no other industry sees a closer bond between the customer and the service provider than the healthcare industry. Further, because this industry associates with its customers in their most vulnerable times, it is critical to provide an experience beyond the medical care that will alleviate the concerns of the patient.
In terms of financial gains, a report by The Deloitte Center for Health Solutions has demonstrated that hospitals with high patient-reported experience scores have higher profitability. It has also shown that hospitals with better experience levels earn disproportionately more than they spend compared to those with lower ratings. All this reiterates that improving the patient experience is vital to a healthcare organization.
The Net Promoter Score is a world-renowned metric to measure customer experience. Quite a few healthcare providers today use NPS to measure and improve the patient experience. However, because NPS isn’t as widely used in healthcare, there aren’t many guidebooks or best practices available for use of NPS in this sector. Here are a few pointers to use NPS more effectively in healthcare.

While the internet has opened up new markets for businesses around the world, it has also allowed competition from companies globally. In the 21st century, many companies are facing hordes of competition in almost every market.
This level of competition has increasingly led companies to research for new ways to get customers while retaining their existing customer base as well. Customers, being more informed than ever due to technology, now expect a certain level of customer service at all times. They assume that your team will have an up to date CRM system and that you will have the tools in place to not only respond to their concerns quickly but also address their issues.

While Net Promoter System® (NPS) is quite easy to understand, it is still fairly new as a concept.
