Sentiment Analysis – The Game Changer in Free Text Analysis

NHS England focuses on free text comments as the real power behind FFT, seen as the goldmine of improvement ideas and staff praise to boost morale.

The problem? Analysis is a time consuming, manual process and textual responses are hard to quantify. However, without this narrative, the impact feedback can have on patient experience is limited.

Our innovative Sentiment Analysis tool is best in class and revolutionises free text analysis by:

  • Doing the hard work for you! It automatically collates, RAG rates and reports on phrases within a comment to make sure emotions, attitude and opinions are captured
  • Staff time spent manually trawling through comments can now focus on patient care
  • Separates positive and negative comments within the same comment and locates service improvement suggestions hidden under ‘Highly Recommends’

What clients are saying

I love Sentiment Analysis! What I really like is that it doesn’t just categorise comments, but breaks them down even further by sentence – amazing! Frees up considerable time and allows me to do more with feedback.
