Scaling Client Feedback Across Language Boundaries and Five Counties

The Challenge

Optimizing Feedback Across a Multi-County Network

Comprehensive Healthcare operates as a large-scale behavioral health agency, providing diverse services—including outpatient mental health, substance use, inpatient treatment, and residential programs—across at least five counties in Washington State. Before partnering with Pulse For Good, the organization faced several hurdles in capturing meaningful client voices:

• Low Engagement Rates: Previous attempts to utilize text message and online surveys proved challenging, often resulting in poor response rates from clients.

• Data Fragmentation: With multiple locations in cities like Yakima, Ellensburg, Sunnyside, Pasco, and Walla Walla, the agency needed a way to consolidate feedback for both local campus directors and high-level board reporting.

• Language Barriers: Manually translating Spanish comments was time-consuming and often led to inaccuracies in AI sentiment categorization.

The Solution

Pulse For Good’s Responsive Kiosk Network

To address these gaps, Comprehensive Healthcare deployed eight Pulse For Good kiosks strategically across their organization. The implementation focused on accessibility and real-time responsiveness:

Autonomous & Anonymous

The kiosks provide a safe, private space for members to share true feelings without staff intervention.

Real-Time Dashboards

Staff gained instant access to a survey dashboard, transforming raw sentiment into actionable data.

Consistent Monitoring

Results can be reviewed 24/7 to ensure any issues are addressed immediately.
