Ehsan's Analysis

HealthTech NPS has a peculiar split: clinicians who use the product daily rate it 30-50 points lower than administrators who purchased it. Epic's NPS among hospital CIOs is 60+; among physicians who use it, it is negative. This gap exists because healthcare purchasing decisions are made by people who do not use the product. The implication for healthtech startups: measure TWO NPS scores — buyer NPS (predicts renewal) and user NPS (predicts daily adoption and workflow compliance). If user NPS is below 0, your product will be underutilized regardless of contract value, leading to eventual non-renewal. The healthtech companies with aligned NPS (both buyer and user above 30) — Doximity among physicians, Athenahealth among small practices — have structurally lower churn. The product fix is usually not features but workflow redesign: clinicians hate products that add steps to their day and love products that eliminate steps.
