Entities Survey: Module 34

Number of questions: 10


All entities will receive this module at the end of the survey. We will know the details of the entities (e.g., hospital, professional society, authorized agents, etc.) based on their responses in the demographics modules earlier in the survey. Therefore, without asking additional questions in this module about the identity of the respondents’ entities, we will be able to compare the responses of different entities to the questions in this module (e.g., the difference in the level of satisfaction with customer service or Q&A teleconference for hospitals vs. authorized agents).
