Healthcare organizations rely heavily on open-ended employee survey comments to understand culture, engagement, and lived experience. Yet transforming thousands of verbatim responses into timely, reliable, and unbiased insight remains a persistent challenge. Manual theming is slow and costly, while traditional sentiment tools often fail to capture nuance—especially in environments where feedback includes sensitive topics such as equity, psychological safety, and workplace harm.

This session presents a real-world case study from a large, multi-site healthcare organization that adopted generative AI to responsibly analyze employee verbatim data at scale. Attendees will learn how the organization validated AI outputs, addressed ethics and privacy concerns, and operationalized qualitative insight without compromising trust or governance.

The result: a dramatic reduction in manual effort, improved sentiment accuracy, and leadership-ready insights that enabled focused action planning across the organization. This session demonstrates how to quantify the qualitative—ethically, transparently, and at scale in regulated healthcare environments.
