  • Patent number: 8028003
    Abstract: A computer system and method for generating web pages for displaying formatted customer satisfaction display information and/or presentations on a user computer which may be located remotely and connected to the system by a computer network. The formatted customer satisfaction survey information enables a product or service provider to evaluate the quality of goods and/or services received based on database data obtained by performing surveys of customers, employees, and/or staff. This information can then be compared to normative information, national standards, or other available data. The system utilizes HTML templates, applets, and web servers to generate the web pages. i The HTML template process also allows for generation of the HTML templates by programmers. The system and method can be utilized in a quality improvement program.

  • Publication number: 20090222284
    Abstract: A system and method for conducting surveys, and, more particularly, an at least partially automated and efficient system and method for collecting, processing, and displaying customer satisfaction survey information that enables a product or service provider to evaluate the quality of goods and/or services received based on ratings and reports obtained by performing surveys of customers, employees, and/or staff. The system utilizes an execution platform using a clinical process improvement methodology. The system provides the execution platform with software scripts implementing the clinical improvement process, using drill-down questioning techniques and verbatim comments tailored to the survey participants comments and/or status information to gain insights into the participants' reasons for their opinions. The system obtains raw survey data and processes that data into useful survey information, such as graphs and charts, for presenting to survey consumers (i.e., system users) who may be remotely located.
