Create conversational survey example by chatting with AI.

This is an example of an AI survey example for Patients about Hospital Cleanliness—see and try the example for yourself. Your feedback helps improve hospital environments and patient experiences.

Creating effective hospital cleanliness surveys is tough; it’s hard to ask the right questions, keep it short, and actually get honest, detailed feedback from patients.

At Specific, we’ve spent years honing conversational, AI-driven surveys that deliver meaningful insights. All tools and examples on this page come from Specific, a recognized authority in modern, conversational feedback.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for patients

Most people struggle with traditional hospital cleanliness surveys—they’re rigid, impersonal, and often ignored. Patients don’t engage deeply, and as a result, hospitals get incomplete or superficial data. We’ve seen this time and again.

That’s where an AI-powered survey generator flips the script. Instead of static forms, you get an interactive conversation. The survey adapts in real time: questions change based on previous responses, making the respondent feel heard. This not only improves completion rates, but helps uncover the nuances that matter to hospital administrators and staff—the details patients really notice.

Manual Surveys

AI-Generated Conversational Surveys

Fixed questions, no adaptability

Dynamic questions based on answers

Low completion rates (10–30%)

High completion rates (70–90%) [1]

Little context or follow-up

Smart follow-ups for richer insights [1]

Feels tedious, easy to abandon

Feels like messaging, keeps patients engaged

So, why does this matter for hospital cleanliness? For one, cleanliness impacts real-world outcomes and perceptions. In England, 96% of patients described their NHS hospital rooms as very clean or fairly clean [1], but a study in Ethiopia found more than half of respondents were dissatisfied with hospital toilet cleanliness [2]. What patients notice and care about can be nuanced—AI-generated, conversational patient surveys unlock these insights by asking, listening, and adjusting as the conversation unfolds.

Why use AI for patient surveys?

  • Completion is higher: The chat-like experience is familiar and easy for patients.

  • Better context: AI identifies ambiguity, then asks the right clarifying questions on the spot.

  • Flexible expertise: The generator uses proven templates and expert logic—no research experience needed from your side.


Specific’s best-in-class experience keeps both creators and respondents happy: quick to set up, and patients feel comfortable sharing honest feedback. Want to dive even deeper into crafting impactful questions? Check out what to ask in hospital cleanliness surveys for extra tips.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

The real power of a conversational AI survey example is in its ability to ask smart follow-up questions. At Specific, our AI listens to each patient’s response and poses clarifying or probing follow-ups in real time—just like a skilled interviewer.

This is crucial for capturing the whole story. Manual surveys or basic forms can’t do this. If an answer is vague, you’re left confused or forced to chase it down with follow-up emails (most people won’t bother replying). With AI, the system fills in the blanks instantly, making the experience seamless and natural.

  • Patient: “The bathroom was okay.”

  • AI follow-up: “Could you tell me more about what made the bathroom just okay? Was there something specific that stood out?”

  • Patient: “My room was clean.”

  • AI follow-up: “Was there anything the cleaning staff did especially well, or anything you felt could be improved?”

Without these follow-ups, responses lack actionable detail and nuance. Automated follow-ups lead to richer insights and more actionable data [1]. Want to see how this works in action? Try generating your own survey and test the experience—see just how natural the back-and-forth feels. If you’re curious about the underlying engine, we go deeper into this on how automatic AI follow-up questions work.

In short: follow-ups make the survey an authentic conversation, transforming it into a true conversational survey.

Easy editing, like magic

Don’t worry about getting every question right on your first attempt. At Specific, editing your conversational patient survey is as simple as chatting with an expert. Want a different tone? Need to add or adjust a question about hospital cleanliness or hand hygiene? Just tell the AI in plain language and it’ll update your survey immediately—all the logic and technical details are handled for you, so you can roll out improvements in seconds, not hours. More on this approach is covered at AI survey editing via chat.

There’s no tedious clicking or dragging, no risk of breaking your survey or losing your template. Just a smooth, efficient workflow that keeps you in control.

Survey delivery: landing page and in-product

How you deliver your hospital cleanliness survey matters—different channels suit different goals. With Specific, you get flexible delivery options. Here’s how they fit the patient audience and cleanliness topic:

  • Sharable landing page surveys: Perfect for broader patient groups. Share via email, QR codes, or your hospital’s website—ideal for collecting feedback from discharged patients or the general public.

  • In-product surveys: Embed the survey in your hospital’s patient app or online portal, making it part of the discharge process or check-in experience. Great for capturing insights right after a hospital visit, when impressions are fresh.

Our system supports both, so you can pick what fits your hospital’s needs (or run both at once to compare results).

Effortless AI survey analysis and automated insights

Once the responses come in, Specific’s AI jumps into action. It instantly summarizes open-text feedback, flags emerging themes, and generates actionable next steps—no spreadsheet exports, pie charts, or manual note-taking needed. With features like topic detection and direct chat with AI, anyone—from ward managers to executives—can ask follow-up questions about the data (like, “What issues come up most often in bathroom feedback?”).
