The software, called RealTime, offers patients the opportunity to comment on their office experiences via an electronic survey. The application generates a series of reports for physician practices using de-identified survey results. Practices can identify drivers of satisfaction, analyze profiles of their most satisfied patients and create blinded comparisons to other practices, according to AMA and South Bend, Ind.-based Press Ganey.
The software is available at a discounted introductory rate at ama-assn.org/go/patientexperience.
