Patient Access | Online Scheduling | Digital Access
The rise of healthcare consumerism, growing demands for convenient self-service options, and the pandemic all contributed to a perfect storm of consumer needs that pushed healthcare organizations to accelerate their digital roadmaps. That’s why Kyruus recently revisited its 2019 survey of 200 providers to find out their thoughts on digital access today—and to learn how their perspectives have changed over time.

The healthcare industry is evolving at an unprecedented rate to keep pace with changing customer needs, government mandates, and an onslaught of competition from emerging disrupters like Amazon and Walmart. Health systems and health plans are realizing that working together to create better, more consistent care access experiences is no longer a lofty goal for the future—and that collaboration needs to start now.

Our latest infographic summarizes new findings from our annual consumer survey that shows a growing number of people interact with health plan websites when seeking care. In fact, over half (52%) of online researchers consult a health plan website in their search for a new provider—up more than ten percentage points from last year.

Our new infographic spotlights key findings from our fifth annual survey of 1,000 healthcare consumers to reveal how today’s digitally-empowered consumers discover, select, and schedule care. It’s top-line information at a glance – and is the perfect precursor to the 2021 Patient Access Journey Report, which explores five-year trends as well as brand-new insights on the access journey for healthcare services and care sites (in addition to provider appointments) and the role of price transparency in consumer decision-making.

Until recently, healthcare organizations have had little or no influence over their providers’ profiles in health plan digital directories – and inconsistent profile data between health system and health plan websites has long been a point of friction across the channels. It’s also a source of frustration for people seeking care online.

With the continued growth of healthcare consumerism, it’s not surprising that nearly 60% of people say they use the internet to find a new healthcare provider, with many including health system and health plan websites in the search. While these sites are important avenues for patient access, inconsistent provider data between the channels can create a fragmented experience for those seeking care. That’s a key reason why Kyruus and HealthSparq joined forces earlier this year, with a shared goal of simplifying care navigation to enable people to find and book the right care – whether they start their search with a health plan or health system.
