Survey template: Patient survey about lab services experience

Getting actionable feedback from patients on their lab services experience is always challenging—using an AI survey template from Specific makes it simple and effective. Use and try this template for your next patient feedback survey to see what really matters.

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

Traditional surveys about lab services often fall flat—patients ignore long forms, skip questions, or abandon the survey altogether. With average response rates for traditional surveys hovering between 5% and 30% (with anything above 30% being rare) [1], it's clear that the old approach just doesn't capture the real patient experience or opinions.

Enter the AI survey template—a new approach driven by genuine conversation. Instead of clicking through dull forms, patients chat naturally with an AI that feels more like a person than a survey bot. This keeps the experience familiar and engaging, both on desktop and mobile. Conversational surveys specifically designed by Specific are proven to keep people engaged longer and deliver far better quality data for you, as the survey creator. In fact, studies show that conversational surveys powered by AI can increase completion rates by up to 40% compared to traditional methods [2].

Why use AI for patient surveys?

• More accurate feedback: Follow-up questions dig deeper, uncovering details a scripted form never would.

• Higher engagement: Patients find chat-based surveys less tedious, leading to more, richer answers.

• Faster insights: AI instantly analyzes results and highlights key patterns.

Specific’s survey maker is built around this proven approach. The result: a best-in-class user experience, whether you’re using a ready-made patient survey about lab services experience or need to create your own with our AI survey generator.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

Asking the right first question is important—but asking the right follow-up is what separates clear patient insights from vague noise. That's why Specific’s conversational AI surveys automatically generate real-time follow-ups based on each patient's last answer, capturing full context and clarifying anything that's ambiguous. This not only saves you time (no more email back-and-forths) but also produces richer, more useful responses.

Here’s what that looks like if you skip follow-ups versus when you let AI handle it:

• Patient: "The staff was alright."

• AI follow-up: "When you say ‘alright’, can you share a bit more? Were there things you liked or things that could be improved?"

One unclear answer turns into an actionable insight. Paired with AI, even complex issues—like wait times, satisfaction with lab instructions, or confidence in test results—are explored naturally.

These follow-ups are at the heart of what makes your survey a true conversational survey—it's a dialogue, not a questionnaire.

Easy editing, like magic

Most survey tools make customization a grind. With Specific’s AI-powered survey editor, you just chat with the AI about what you want to change. Whether it’s adjusting tone (“please keep it warm and encouraging”), adding or removing a lab services question, or rephrasing for simplicity, just type your request and the survey updates instantly. No hunting through menus or worrying about logic—AI handles those details, letting you update your template in seconds. See how it works here: AI survey editor.

Flexible sharing: landing page or in-product

Getting patients to respond is all about meeting them where they are. With Specific, you can deliver your lab services experience survey in two seamless ways:

• Sharable landing page surveys
  Best for after-visit or follow-up emails, text messages, or even posters with a QR code in the waiting room. Patients can access the survey privately from anywhere, right when you want their fresh impression.

• In-product surveys
  Great for clinics or health platforms with a patient app or portal. The survey appears as an in-app chat, capturing feedback while the experience is top of mind—boosting relevance and response rates.

Both methods are conversational, mobile-friendly, and frictionless for patients to use.
