PATIENT PERSPECTIVES REPORT
Patients prioritize quality care from providers
Tebra’s 2024 Patient Perspective Survey revealed that 61% of patients still prioritize quality care above all else — and are willing to find a new provider if they don’t receive it.
More than 4 in 5 patients say they would leave a practice after 2 poor experiences with their provider, and 47% of the patients we surveyed say they have left previous practices due to poor experiences with the provider.
Discover additional best practices gleaned from our survey, including:
- Provide virtual appointment options, user-friendly patient portals, and timely responses — 53% of patients prefer telehealth visits, and 68% want digital access but expect prompt replies within 4-24 hours.
- Streamline patient intake processes by adopting digital tools that enable patients to complete forms online before appointments — 92% of patients prefer this convenient and accurate approach.
- Address negative online reviews promptly and effectively — 64% of patients are willing to return to a practice that properly addresses their concerns.
