Survey example: Patient survey about patient safety

This is an example of an AI survey about patient safety for patients—see and try the example and explore how fast you can start collecting meaningful feedback.

Creating effective patient safety surveys is tricky. Patients may skip questions or give answers that lack detail, making it difficult to spot risks and truly improve care.

Specific is built for seamless, conversational feedback. All the AI survey tools shown here are part of what Specific offers as a leader in automated, expert-driven survey solutions.

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

Patients often feel overwhelmed or uncertain when completing healthcare surveys. Traditional forms can be impersonal and don't always capture the nuances of individual experiences—even though about 1 in every 10 patients is harmed during healthcare delivery, emphasizing the urgent need for clear, actionable feedback. [1]

This is where AI-powered conversational surveys stand out. Instead of checkbox forms, we use dynamic chat-like surveys that adapt in real time. The survey responds to patients’ input, asks smart follow-ups, and mirrors the familiar experience of messaging—making participation easier and more engaging.

Why use AI for patient surveys?

• Immediate follow-ups: The AI doesn’t just record responses—it clarifies them, reducing ambiguity and missed context.

• Personalization: Surveys adapt to the patient’s language and tone, increasing comfort and honesty.

• Speed: With a survey generator, you get expert-quality surveys created in seconds, versus hours or days spent building manually (see how to create any custom survey from scratch).

Specific offers best-in-class conversational surveys, making it easy for both patients and healthcare teams to collect accurate, actionable insights. For advice on survey question quality, see our guide to the best questions for patient safety surveys.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

The real game changer? Automatic AI-powered follow-up questions. Specific’s engine asks smart, contextual follow-ups in real time—like an experienced researcher—so you get clear, actionable insight instead of vague answers. Instead of chasing patients after the survey, the AI gets the full story on the spot, saving a huge amount of time and hassle.

• Patient: “I felt the discharge process was confusing.”

• AI follow-up: “Could you describe what made the discharge process confusing or if something specific was unclear?”

Without follow-ups, you might never know if confusion was due to poor instructions, missing forms, or miscommunication. This is essential with patient safety, where an estimated 134 million adverse events occur in hospitals every year, leading to 2.6 million deaths in low- and middle-income countries alone [2].

Try generating a patient safety survey and see how these AI follow-ups guide a real conversation for yourself. These follow-ups aren’t an add-on—they make the survey a conversation, not a checklist.

Easy editing, like magic

Editing your survey is a breeze with Specific’s AI survey editor. You simply chat with the AI, telling it what you want to add, remove, or change. Whether you need to clarify a question about medication safety or tweak the tone, the AI does all the hard work instantly—no manual rework or tedious form-building. Updates take seconds, so your survey evolves with your needs.

Survey delivery: landing page or in-product

You can deliver your conversational patient safety surveys in two strategic ways, tailored to the needs of healthcare settings:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Send a unique link to patients after their visit, via email or text. Perfect for post-discharge feedback or routine safety checks when they’re outside the care facility.

• In-product surveys: Embed the survey directly within your healthcare portal or app. This ensures you gather timely insights while patients interact with their health records, medication lists, or appointment portals—catching user feedback at critical moments.

For sensitive patient safety topics, both approaches help maximize convenience and response rates, so choose what fits your needs best.

AI-powered analysis for instant insights

Analyzing survey responses with AI means you get immediate, actionable insights without sorting through spreadsheets. Specific summarizes patient responses, detects main risks, and finds emerging patterns—perfect for tracking vital issues like medication errors that harm over 1.5 million Americans annually [3]. Features like automatic theme detection and the option to chat directly with the AI about results make it easy to discover what’s driving patient sentiment. Want to go deeper into the workflow?
