The healthcare industry is evolving as part of the larger digital transformation. Healthcare organizations need to take a proactive approach to the patient (customer) experience across multiple patient-healthcare staff touchpoints. We have extensive experience in assessing patient satisfaction, conducting community health needs assessments, launching and assessing telemedicine and digital health initiatives, among other healthcare marketing strategic initiatives.
“Dr. Peltier and APR staff are visionary in their search for answers. Their work on revising our patient satisfaction and engagement reports is now part of this healthcare organization’s culture. We also look to APR for strategic insight in developing critical community wellness initiatives through their management of our annual Community Health Assessment. A key strength of APR is their rapid response to any of our needs that may arise.”
– Michael S. Wallace, CEO & President, Fort HealthCare
Dr. Peltier’s research acumen is very impressive and his work is of the utmost quality. Importantly, the two-year research project he supervised for us had actionable recommendations and lead to impressive results.
