Why It Matters
The COVID-19 crisis radically disrupted the health care industry and altered consumer behavior. The result was massive growth in telehealth services, with Press Ganey administering more than 15 million telemedicine surveys year to date. Coupled with more than 71% of patients seeking physician reviews online and 70,000 health-related Google searches each minute, these fundamental shifts have escalated the need for health care providers to enhance and streamline the online healthcare customer experience.
“This acquisition is game-changing for the industry. By pairing data and insights from Press Ganey’s 472 million consumer surveys a year with next-generation technology, health care organizations can finally unite their patient experience and patient acquisition efforts within one powerful platform. This unified solution drives performance improvement, accelerates transparency initiatives, and improves the patient experience,” said Andrei Zimiles, co-founder and CEO, Doctor.com. “As patients continue to ‘shop’ for care in increasingly competitive digital channels, this groundbreaking new platform from three pioneers in the consumerism space gives health care organizations the edge they’ve been looking for.”
Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed.
