Consumer Perspectives on Healthcare’s Basic Deliverables of Quality & Experience are Declining


“Healthcare organizations can’t afford to lose sight of supporting people’s interest in their own health and well-being, their physical needs and their desire for positive outcomes, while being treated with respect and being addressed as a person”

The Beryl Institute and Ipsos released findings from the 13th edition of PX Pulse, a survey to track current perspectives on patient experience in healthcare across the United States. This report trends data related to the consumer experience from data first collected pre-pandemic in December 2019 through the second quarter of 2023. This issue reveals that while quality of care and overall care experience slipped since last quarter, trust in healthcare services and providers remains high.

Key findings include:

  • Consumer perception of quality and overall experience are slowly declining.
  • Cost and affordability remain important issues to consumers, while access to quality hospitals and treatments appeared again this quarter as one of the top five most important issues.
  • The importance of experience remains high at 95% with consumers noting health and well-being as the most important reason why.
  • While trust in healthcare is high, creating stronger relationships with patients, providers and the community served may be addressed by a strengthened commitment to the human experience.

“Healthcare organizations can’t afford to lose sight of supporting people’s interest in their own health and well-being, their physical needs and their desire for positive outcomes, while being treated with respect and being addressed as a person,” said Jason A. Wolf, PhD, CPXP, President & CEO, The Beryl Institute. “These are the critical levers that will ensure experience can be elevated and reinforce how quality elements are truly central to the overall experience organizations provide.”
