The Growing Ecosystem of the Healthcare & Insurance Industry
Insurance and healthcare providers are forced to provide more holistic care to their patients and consumers. With an increasingly more informed audience, the industry is having to shift to be more patient-centric. Healthcare and insurance employees, medical providers, and brokers are, likewise, required to be more present and engaged.

A range of global changes including an increase in aging populations and advances in medical treatment are causing the healthcare and insurance industry to experience radical shifts and growth in patient care.

One of the nation’s leading health insurers was looking to improve their online support tools. The brand was looking to understand how receptive their consumers, brokers, and employers would be to an automated support tool to guide customers and partners to their ideal health plan.
The study was broken down into three segments among consumers, brokers, and employers.
Polling was done where consumers shared their previous health complications and experiences. Brokers and employers shared their experience level guiding clients/employees through critical health decisions.
Afterwards, consumers, through a survey, shared their experience with risky healthcare decisions and identified customer service pain points. Brokers and employers identified crucial attributes needed in an automated support tool.
All segments provided additional insights through discussion boards on the proposed automated support tool.
Based on the results of the study, the nationwide healthcare insurer had confidence to move forward with the creation of an automated support tool and informed R&D and product of the customer, broker, and employer feedback.
