Survey template: Patient survey about urgent care experience

Create custom survey template by chatting with AI.

Getting reliable feedback about urgent care visits is tough, but an AI survey template makes it seamless—use and try this template to understand your patients better. Specific delivers the best-in-class tools for engaging, high-quality conversational surveys and actionable insights.

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

Traditional patient urgent care experience surveys struggle to capture genuine, meaningful feedback. Low response rates and incomplete data are all too common, making it hard to improve what truly matters in urgent care settings. We've all seen it: participation drops, with the UK's Living Costs and Food Survey response rate plummeting from 60% in 2000 to just 22% in 2023—and that's far from unique. [1] It's time for a smarter approach.

Conversational surveys powered by AI change the game. Instead of rigid forms, patients interact with a chatbot that thinks like a skilled interviewer, asks relevant questions, and dives deeper with natural follow-ups. Research shows that these AI chatbots generate patient responses that are not only more informative but also clearer and more specific than standard online surveys. [3] Why settle for incomplete answers when you could get clarity?

Here's how manual survey creation stacks up to using an AI survey builder:

Manual Surveys

AI-Generated Surveys

Tedious to create, hard to adapt

Easy setup—just describe what you need

Fixed questions, little flexibility

Dynamic, with adaptive follow-ups

Low engagement—feels like a chore

Feels like a real conversation

Lower data quality, higher dropout rates

Higher response quality and completion

Why use AI for patient surveys?

  • Reduces survey fatigue: Chat-like format keeps patients engaged, even on mobile

  • Boosts data quality: AI asks clarifying questions for clearer insights

  • Saves you hours: Launch comprehensive surveys within minutes

With Specific’s best-in-class user experience, both survey creators and respondents enjoy a smoother, more effective process from start to finish. Want to know what questions work best? Check out our guide to the best questions for patient urgent care experience surveys.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

What really sets an AI conversational survey apart is its ability to ask automatic follow-up questions—instantly and contextually based on what the patient just said. With Specific, our AI doesn’t just ask one question and move on. Instead, it reacts in real-time like an expert interviewer, prompting for clarifications or deeper context to unlock richer insights. This isn’t just a time-saver; it’s a quality booster.

Without targeted follow-ups, responses can easily end up unclear or incomplete. Here’s how it can play out:

  • Patient: The waiting time was a problem.

  • AI follow-up: Could you tell me how long you waited, and how that impacted your overall experience?

Or:

  • Patient: The doctor was helpful.

  • AI follow-up: What made the doctor’s approach helpful for you during your urgent care visit?

Compare that experience with a static survey where vague answers remain unresolved: valuable details are lost. Want to experience this? Try generating a survey and see how smart AI follow-ups uncover more context—without extra emailing or manual clarification.

Thanks to automated, adaptive follow-up questions, each survey evolves into a natural conversation. This conversational approach is what makes these AI surveys so powerful—patients feel heard, and the result is data you can truly use.

Easy editing, like magic

We know you might want to tweak, refine, or extend your survey to fit your needs—sometimes on the fly. With Specific, you edit and tailor the entire AI survey template through a simple chat, not endless forms or confusing menus. Describe changes in everyday language, and watch the survey update in seconds with professional-level logic and question design. The AI does the heavy lifting and the tedious bits—so you don't have to.

This makes survey editing not just fast, but also accessible to anyone—no technical skills necessary. We’ve built Specific to be as intuitive as possible, because your focus should be on insights, not on building survey logic. See how this works on the AI survey editor feature page.

Flexible delivery for urgent care patient surveys

No matter where your patients are, getting them the survey should be easy. With Specific's AI survey template, you can deliver surveys through two powerful methods:

  • Sharable landing page surveys:

    Perfect for broader outreach—send the link by email, print on a discharge slip, or include in SMS notifications after a visit. Great for urgent care clinics gathering post-visit feedback.

  • In-product surveys:

    Embed the survey widget directly into your patient portal or scheduling app. Seamless for digital health platforms prompting users for immediate feedback after care is delivered.

If your patients are more likely to respond after leaving the clinic, landing page surveys ensure easy access from any device; for instant feedback built into your digital experience, in-product surveys are unmatched.

Analyze responses instantly with AI

Once responses are in, Specific's built-in AI survey analysis goes to work. Responses are instantly summarized; key themes and concerns are surfaced faster than with any spreadsheet. With automated topic detection and the ability to chat directly with AI about the results, you can turn raw feedback into clear, actionable insights—without manual sorting or coding.

This is a major upgrade for anyone analyzing survey responses with AI. Explore more details in our article on how to analyze patient urgent care experience survey responses with AI, or see the in-depth feature at AI survey response analysis.
