Patient Experience in Healthcare

Enhancing the patient experience in healthcare

Harness the power of conversation intelligence with CallMiner Eureka to better understand your patients’ experiences – and how you can improve them.

The key to more satisfying patient experiences in healthcare

For patients in healthcare settings today, expectations are higher than ever. Patients know they can easily switch to another provider if not satisfied with their experience. While this makes it harder for some healthcare organizations to keep patients, it opens the door for others to acquire and retain more patients by adopting a laser focus on delivering exceptional experiences.

To improve the patient experience in healthcare settings, savvy organizations seek intelligence from the conversations that patients have with contact center agents. These interactions are full of information about patients’ needs, desires, opinions, and feelings about their healthcare journey. By automating the collection and analysis of interactions, organizations can glean insight into the concrete steps they can take to improve the patient experience in their healthcare journey.

CallMiner Eureka can help. As the global leader in conversation intelligence, we offer the most comprehensive platform for analyzing patient interactions across all channels, delivering the actionable intelligence organizations need to drive improvement in patient healthcare experiences.

Practical steps for improving the patient experience in healthcare

Capturing, analyzing, and scoring patient interactions with call center agents supports several strategies for improving patient experiences.

The unsolicited feedback provided in conversations between patients and contact center agents provides a far deeper understanding of the patient experience than relying on surveys or other sample-based evaluation methods. Organizations can identify the drivers of patient contact and proactively uncover issues that can be addressed to deliver a better patient healthcare experience.

For revenue cycle management (RCM) teams, conversation intelligence can help to identify confusion and friction in the billing process, providing a roadmap for improvements that can enhance patient billing experiences, improve payment outcomes, and increase satisfaction.

Conversation intelligence can improve the performance of contact center agents by providing real-time automated scoring and next-best-action guidance that can lead to better call outcomes. Conversation intelligence can even help agents effectively identify at-risk medical situations and escalate patient calls to the appropriate healthcare practitioner.

Frequently asked questions.

The patient experience is usually defined as the sum of a patient’s interactions with a healthcare organization. These may include everything from communication around scheduling appointments, billing, and managing prescriptions to doctor visits, hospital stays, outpatient tests, and follow-up communication about a plan of care. As the healthcare industry has become more competitive and as patients exercise greater choice in providers, many healthcare organizations have focused on improving the patient experience in healthcare settings to better attract and retain patients.


To improve the patient experience, healthcare organizations must first understand how patients feel about their interactions throughout their medical journey and how those interactions can be enhanced. A medical or insurance call center is typically the best place to capture this information, as this is where patients are most likely to share their opinions and articulate their needs.


Conversation intelligence is a technology that uses AI and machine learning to understand the meaning of interactions with patients as well as the emotion driving their communication. Conversation intelligence platforms can capture, transcribe, categorize, and score every interaction across every channel – including voice-based interactions with contact center agents and text-based communications in email, chat, SMS, social media, web, and other channels. By transforming the unstructured information in these interactions into structured data, conversation intelligence technology delivers insight into the needs, wants, opinions, and feelings of patients, allowing organizations to take concrete steps to improve the patient experience in healthcare interactions.

This is the number one thing we wanted; something automated to understand the patient experience in a faster and more accurate way. Before CallMiner, we were doing patient surveys and manual quality assessments, and that just doesn’t offer the same level of actionable insights.
