Health, and healthcare, remain top of mind for the majority of Americans. While a primary focus, the healthcare journey still comes with great anxiety, despite nearly half of people saying they see their healthcare provider as the most trusted, reliable source of health information.

These are just some of the findings to come out the 2023 PatientPoint Patient Confidence Index. Conducted in partnership with market research leader OnePoll, we surveyed 2,000 Americans to better understand people’s perceptions of health and their attitudes and behaviors around visiting the doctor. We also dug deeper to uncover demographic disparities and opportunities to improve patient population health at scale.

At the core, we learned information is power when it comes to people’s health. It prepares them to talk to their doctor, motivates them to ask questions and inspires changes that lead to better health.
