1. Why Hospitals Need NPS-Based Feedback Software

Net Promoter Score (NPS) provides a clear, simple metric to measure patient loyalty and satisfaction. Using NPS-based software helps hospitals:

• Quickly gauge patient experience and loyalty

• Identify promoters, passives, and detractors for targeted action

• Drive improvements in service quality and patient retention

• Support accreditation and quality initiatives like NABH

• Benchmark performance over time and across departments

2. Essential Features to Look For

Choose software that offers comprehensive NPS functionality alongside healthcare-specific needs:

• Easy NPS survey creation with customizable questions

• Multi-channel delivery (SMS, email, app, kiosk, WhatsApp)

• Automatic patient segmentation into promoters, passives, detractors

• Follow-up workflows for detractors (alerts, ticket creation)

• Ability to combine NPS data with qualitative feedback

• Multi-language support for diverse patient populations

3. Integration with Hospital Systems

Seamless integration enhances efficiency and patient insights:

• Integration with EMR/HIS to trigger surveys post-visit or discharge

• Sync with CRM for follow-up and patient engagement

• Connect with dashboards used by quality and operations teams

• Link with appointment systems for timely feedback requests

4. Analytics & Reporting Capabilities

Advanced analytics enable data-driven decisions:

• Real-time NPS score tracking hospital-wide and by department

• Drill-down reports by doctor, service area, and patient demographics

• Trend analysis and benchmarking over time

• Sentiment analysis from open-ended feedback

• Exportable reports for NABH and management review

5. Cost Considerations

Pricing depends on features, hospital size, and survey volume:

• Basic NPS tools for small facilities: ₹20,000 – ₹50,000 (one-time)

• Advanced solutions with integrations and analytics: ₹1,00,000 – ₹3,00,000+

• Subscription or SaaS models: ₹2,000 – ₹15,000/month

• Consider ROI through improved patient loyalty, reputation, and accreditation support

6. Selecting the Right Vendor

Ensure your software partner understands healthcare and patient experience:

• Do they have experience working with hospitals and healthcare providers?

• Can they customize surveys to reflect hospital services and goals?

• What support and training do they provide during and after rollout?

• Are data security and patient privacy standards (HIPAA, GDPR) met?

• Do they offer multi-channel survey deployment and easy-to-use dashboards?
