These surveys can be administered after appointments, hospital stays, or treatment programs to track changes in patient satisfaction over time.

Typical Scenarios

Digital vs. Traditional Patient Satisfaction Surveys

Traditional paper-based surveys are time-consuming, error-prone, and difficult to manage. Staff must print, distribute, collect, and manually encode responses—increasing administrative burden and delaying feedback analysis.

In contrast, Zentake’s digital Patient Satisfaction Survey automates the entire process. Healthcare teams can distribute surveys via secure links, collect responses in real time, and instantly generate reports. Data is stored securely in encrypted databases, ensuring full compliance with HIPAA and privacy regulations.

Before Zentake:

After Zentake:
A digital survey is automatically sent to the patient via email or SMS after the visit. Responses sync instantly with the provider’s dashboard. Administrators can view real-time analytics, identify trends, and take immediate action—all within a secure, automated system.
