Survey schedule and process details
Throughout the year, Council members will be sent links to online surveys on important industry topics (up to two per quarter/eight per year). Designed by Council editors and/or sponsors, these surveys will generally take 15 minutes or less to complete.
On or before the first day of each quarter, members will be informed by email and on the community website of the number and focus of surveys set to launch that quarter as well as the completion window for each (at least two weeks). They will also be notified through the same channels when a new survey launches and receive occasional reminders about the survey’s availability during its runtime.
Members will receive first access to survey results, as well as the opportunity to discuss findings and takeaways during membership calls. By participating in the Council, members grant HCPro and ACDIS permission to share aggregate survey responses, as well as individual contact information, with Council sponsors.
