Whether it’s online, in-person, or multichannel, customer experience (CX) is a key differentiator for any businesses – and healthcare organizations are no exception. The healthcare industry will need to stay on top of key driving consumer care trends and emerging technologies, as a new level of service and engagement has become the norm. According to research and advisory firm Forrester,

Nearly 75% of US online adults have used or are interested in using at least one remote health support service (via phone, email, text chat, video chat). Interest in using virtual reality for healthcare is also growing sharply, with 37% of U.S. online adults expressing an interest.

Extending beyond the front-end purchase experience, CX encompasses the total journey of a customer’s interactions with your brand. Customer care, how well customers are taken care of while they interact with your brand, is a giant piece of the customer experience pie.

Consumers are digitally savvy, well-informed, and more demanding than ever. Forrester, also states that customers expect easy, effective and deeply personal service.
