Case Study: Transforming Qualitative Data Analysis for Healthcare Research
Sep 23, 2023, Jiten MadiaIntroduction
Market Research in the Healthcare industry is known for its commitment to data-driven insights; and Qualitative Research plays a pivotal role in this pursuit. Healthcare Research is inherently driven by the pursuit of precision and evidence-based decision-making. However, given the crazy project timelines, most Healthcare Research agencies are required to find ways to optimize and cut down on process time. Cutting down on parts of the process could trigger unforeseen challenges. This case study delves into how myTranscriptionplace, through a systematic and innovative approach, helped process optimization; thus transforming the agency's Qualitative Research analysis workflows.
Client Background
Our client is a reputable Healthcare Research agency, dedicated to unravelling critical insights from interviews and discussions between Healthcare professionals and Patients. They have a history of delivering impactful research findings to top pharmaceutical companies and pride themselves as one of the best in the industry; focusing solely on Healthcare Research.
The Problem:
In the past, our client had relied on their fieldwork partner to provide raw Qualitative data, collected through interviews with patients and doctors.
The fieldwork agency (another reputed name in Healthcare Research) would listen to audio recordings and manually input data into Excel sheets. This meant, they ended up skipping the crucial step of detailed transcription. This approach was driven by the compulsion to save time (and also costs).
However, this process posed a crucial challenge. A depth interview would involve both moderator and respondent verbatims. Respondent data was undoubtedly crucial. However, skipping transcription meant entirely omitting the moderator's questions. Such data omission resulted in confusion at the report-writing stage. Researchers struggle to determine how specific responses were arrived at and sometimes couldn't confirm whether particular questions were even posed during the interviews. This lack of clarity meant more time spent on going back to audio-files or reaching out to moderators; thus adding a layer of complexity (and delay) in analysis.
The Solution:
myTranscriptionplace understood the urgent need for a systematic and methodical approach to streamline Qualitative Data Analysis. They proposed and implemented a multi-step solution designed to address these challenges effectively.
1. Transcription as the Foundation:
myTranscriptionplace began by emphasizing the importance of Transcription. They recognized that accurate and complete transcriptions were the building blocks of a robust analysis process. Instead of skipping this essential step, they advocated it.
2. Double-Verified Human Transcripts:
To ensure the highest level of accuracy, myTranscriptionplace introduced a process that generated 99% accurate, double-verified, human transcripts. This meticulous approach guaranteed that every word uttered during interviews (including both moderator questions and respondent answers), is faithfully recorded.
3. Data Sorting with Generative AI:
Once transcripts were ready, myTranscriptionplace leveraged cutting-edge Generative AI to organize and sort the data. This significantly expedited the data management process, ensuring efficiency.
4. Human-Curated Analysis for Precision:
While software expedited data processing, myTranscriptionplace understood the irreplaceable role of human expertise in Qualitative Data Analysis. We engaged a team of skilled analysts experienced in Healthcare research to curate the entire analysis, double-checking the findings for accuracy and completeness.
Outcomes
The implementation of this solution brought about transformative outcomes for our client. By embracing Transcription as the foundational step, the agency achieved greater clarity and precision in their Qualitative Data Analysis.
Efficiency without Compromise:
Our client discovered that myTranscriptionplace’s methodological approach did not slow down their research process. Instead, by efficiently combining Human Transcription with advanced software, they achieved faster results; at par with their previous turnaround times.
Cost-Efficiency:
With an India-based analyst team, myTranscriptionplace was able to provide services that were more cost efficient compared to the previous provider. This financial advantage added further value to the collaboration.
Conclusion
The ability to extract accurate and meaningful insights from interviews is paramount in Healthcare Research. myTranscripitonplace not only recognizes the importance of Transcription; but elevates the entire Qualitative Data Analysis process for Healthcare Research agencies. The collaboration results in streamlined operations, improved clarity and cost-efficiency; ultimately empowering the agency to deliver even more impactful research findings to their clients.
