Thank you for completing this survey. Your feedback is valuable and will be used to improve the care experience for all patients.

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

How it compares

We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.

Why this template

  • Includes dedicated opinion-scale questions on clinician listening, explanation clarity, respect, time spent, and involvement in care decisions — not just a single satisfaction score
  • Uses an AI follow-up interview after the structured questions to let patients elaborate on their experience in their own words, going beyond a static open-text box
  • Covers the full visit journey — scheduling access, contact channels, clinician communication, post-visit follow-up materials, and overall/NPS-style ratings — in one flow
  • Separates demographic questions (age, gender identity, education, employment) at the end so they don't bias earlier responses, with transparent, auditable question logic throughout

SurveyMonkey

Patient Satisfaction Survey Template

A ready-to-field template covering standard post-visit satisfaction topics. It's built on SurveyMonkey's established survey infrastructure with broad distribution and analytics options. Like most static templates, it relies on fixed question sets rather than adaptive probing.

What it does well

  • Well-known, mature survey platform with reliable distribution and reporting tools
  • Template is pre-built and ready to deploy quickly
  • Likely benefits from SurveyMonkey's broad question-type library and benchmarking features

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI follow-up questioning — all respondents see the same fixed question path
  • No voice AI interview or screen-share task option for richer qualitative feedback
  • No published methodology on how question wording or scoring logic was derived

SurveySparrow

Free Patient Satisfaction Survey Template

A free, healthcare-specific patient satisfaction template with a conversational chat-style survey format. It's positioned as a quick-start template rather than an AI-driven interview experience. Good for basic feedback collection but limited for deeper qualitative follow-up.

What it does well

  • Conversational, chat-like UI that can feel more engaging than a traditional form
  • Healthcare-specific template framing tailored to patient satisfaction
  • Free to use as a starting point

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI-driven follow-up interviewing based on individual answers
  • No automated per-response quality scoring
  • No voice-based interview option for patients who prefer speaking over typing

Jotform

Patient Satisfaction Survey Form Template

A customizable form-builder template for collecting patient satisfaction feedback, part of Jotform's large general-purpose template library. It's flexible for form design but is a static form product rather than an interview-style research tool. No indication of adaptive questioning or AI-driven analysis.

What it does well

  • Highly customizable form fields and layout via Jotform's drag-and-drop builder
  • Large ecosystem of integrations (payments, CRMs, notifications)
  • Easy to embed on clinic websites or share via link

Where it falls short

  • Static form structure with no adaptive AI follow-up questions
  • No voice AI interview or guided screen-share task capability
  • No automated quality scoring of open-text responses or auto-generated insight reports
