Letâs imagine you just finished up a great session with a brand new client, and now youâre wondering: How was their first experience with me? Can we do anything to improve?
If this sounds like you, youâre going to love Ratings & Reviews! Janeâs Ratings & Reviews allows you to automatically reach out to your clients after an appointment to collect valuable feedback. You can also use the Ratings & Reviews feature to direct patient feedback to Google (more on that at the end of the guide), but youâll first need to set things up in Jane!
Ready to get started? Hereâs how you can turn on Ratings & Reviews in your Jane account:
Step 1: Enable the Ratings & Reviews for the clinic
Youâll need to be an Account Owner or Full Access user to access this feature in your account. Head on over to Settings, select Forms & Surveys and then beside Ratings & Reviews, click View.
To enable the Ratings & Reviews feature, select the âEnable Ratingsâ box. This is the âmaster switchâ for turning on or off Ratings and Reviews for the clinic.
Once enabled, youâll then see options to set the frequency for sending Ratings & Reviews emails. Letâs look at the two options below:
Request Feedback after First Visit
If youâd like to request feedback after a clientâs First visit of a certain treatment type with each selected practitioner, youâll want to enable the âRequest feedback after first visitâ box.
Request Feedback Periodically
If you see clients frequently, you can space out how often they will receive the request for feedback email. For example, you can select to receive feedback after every visit or after a certain number of visits.
From the Request feedback periodically dropdown menu, select the option that works best for you.
If you prefer to only ask for client feedback after their first visit at your practice, simply select âDonât send recurring emailsâ and make sure you have enabled the âRequest feedback after first visitâ option above.
As we work through this guide, letâs use an example from our Demo Site. In this clinic, we want to send a Ratings & Reviews email after a patients first appointment, so âRequest Feedback After First Visitâ is selected. We also want to get some feedback later on from our patients, but donât want to be asking too frequently, so we will âRequest Feedback Periodicallyâ after their 10th visit of our selected treatment types with each of our practitioners
When youâre done, donât forget to click Save!
Step 2: Choosing the Practitioner and Treatments
Youâll have the option to select which practitioners would like to have Ratings & Reviews enabled.
To do this, head on down to the Practitioner Settings section and youâll see a list of all active practitioners in your account. Simply select the practitioners that you would like to enable for Ratings & Reviews, or use the âSelect All Staffâ checkbox to quickly enable everyone.
In this clinic set up on our Demo Site, we only want the Massage Therapists Susan, Zoey and Amy to request feedback, as well as Michael who offers Naturopathic services.
Based on your staff selection, certain treatments will become available for selection based on the Disciplines your selected staff belong to. You may notice that some Disciplines have the Treatment checkboxes disabled. This would be because no staff that belong to this Discipline and offer these Treatments have been selected (makes sense, right?).
You have the option of enabling Ratings and Reviews emails for all Treatments in a Discipline, or you can choose only certain Treatments.
Following along with our Demo Clinic example, we want a Ratings & Review email to go out for all Massage treatments, so weâve selected âall treatmentsâ under Massage Therapy. For Michael the Naturopath, we only want a Rating & Review email sent after the New Patient Visit treatment. Remember our settings above about âRequest Feedback Periodicallyâ? We know patients are never going to book 10 New Patient Visits so Michaelâs patients will only be asked once for a Review after their first booking of a New Patient Visit treatment.
Step 3: Sending the Rating Email
For all treatment types that are enabled for Ratings & Reviews, Jane will automatically send out the rating email 3-hours after the arrived appointment ends.
Inside the email, your clients will be asked to rate their experience out of 5 stars with the practitioner. Once the patient clicks the rating, they will be taken to a webpage where theyâll have a chance to review the star rating and update it if needed. They can also share any comments, feedback, or leave a review for their practitioner
You can preview this patient email under Settings > Emails where you will now see Ratings as a new option.
You can check out the entire patient experience by clicking here.
Thatâs it! Youâre all set up to collect ratings from your patients! Once youâve collected some feedback from your patients, you can review them in the Ratings Report. You can learn more about the Ratings Report here.
BONUS! Ratings & Reviews - Google
Are you interested in automatically directing your patients to post their testimonials on Google? You can now do this in Jane too, however, before you do that, please visit this guide document to see if your governing body allows you to publicly market patient testimonials.
