Emotional support rating

What fertility clinic directors say

«Cycle-stage surveys revealed that the two-week wait was when patients felt most unsupported. We added proactive nurse check-ins during that period — emotional support scores rose from 3.6 to 4.5 and retention between cycles improved 31%.»

«Surveys after unsuccessful cycles showed that patients valued honest, empathetic communication above all. We trained all staff on difficult conversations — NPS rose from 39 to 64 despite unchanged success rates.»

Case Study

Case: fertility clinic improved emotional support scores from 3.6 to 4.5

After adding proactive nurse check-ins, emotional support scores rose from 3.6 to 4.5, cycle-to-cycle retention improved 31%, and NPS increased 25 points.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you survey fertility patients sensitively?

Use gentle, empathetic language. Offer anonymity. Time surveys appropriately — never immediately after a negative outcome. Include emotional wellbeing questions alongside clinical satisfaction.

When should fertility clinics survey patients?

At each treatment milestone — after initial consultation, during stimulation, after retrieval, during the wait, and after the outcome. Different timing for different emotional states.

What should fertility surveys measure?

Care quality, emotional support, communication clarity, care coordination, financial transparency and NPS. Always include emotional wellbeing questions.

Can surveys help with patient retention between cycles?

Yes. Surveys reveal why patients consider leaving — emotional exhaustion, financial burden, communication issues. Addressing these specific concerns significantly improves cycle-to-cycle retention.

How do you handle surveys after unsuccessful outcomes?

Wait at least 1 week. Use empathetic language. Focus on the care experience, not the outcome. Offer anonymous submission and include a space for patients to express their feelings.
