Question 1

What is an Express Survey?

Accepted Answer

An Express Survey is a rapid-turnaround healthcare and MedTech survey designed to deliver high-quality insights from targeted healthcare professionals in a fraction of the time of a traditional custom research study, so time-sensitive business, product, and commercial decisions don't have to wait on a full-length research timeline.

Question 2

How is an Express Survey different from a full custom market research study?

Accepted Answer

A full custom market research study is built around a broader, multi-part research design and typically takes several weeks, while an Express Survey uses a leaner, tightly scoped questionnaire and an existing, pre-qualified healthcare professional panel to deliver directional answers to a narrower set of questions much faster.

Question 3

What kinds of business questions are Express Surveys used for?

Accepted Answer

Express Surveys are commonly used to validate a quick product or messaging decision, pressure-test an assumption before a bigger research investment, get a fast read on physician sentiment, or support time-sensitive commercial and product development decisions where waiting weeks isn't an option.

Question 4

How fast is the turnaround for an Express Survey?

Accepted Answer

Express Surveys are built specifically for rapid turnaround, drawing on an existing, ready-to-engage healthcare professional panel so fieldwork and reporting can move faster than a study that starts with recruitment from scratch — exact timing depends on sample size and target specialty.

Question 5

Who are the respondents in an Express Survey?

Accepted Answer

Respondents are healthcare professionals sourced from Cetas Healthcare's pre-screened panel network, targeted and filtered by specialty, geography, and other relevant criteria so the sample matches the specific audience a project needs to hear from.

Question 6

What does an Express Survey questionnaire typically look like?

Accepted Answer

An Express Survey questionnaire is intentionally concise — a focused set of closed and open-ended questions built around one clear business question, rather than the longer, multi-section questionnaires used in a full custom research study.

Question 7

Can Express Surveys cover multiple countries or regions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Express Surveys can be fielded across multiple geographies using Cetas Healthcare's existing panel network in the US, Europe, and Asia, allowing for a fast multi-market read without setting up recruitment separately in each region.

Question 8

How is data quality maintained despite the faster timeline?

Accepted Answer

Respondents are drawn from pre-screened, validated panels with profiling data already on file, so quality control comes from starting with a known, qualified audience rather than from a longer fielding window — keeping the faster timeline from coming at the cost of reliable data.

Question 9

What do I receive at the end of an Express Survey?

Accepted Answer

Deliverables typically include the survey results and a summarized set of findings addressing the specific business question the survey was scoped around, formatted for quick internal decision-making rather than a lengthy formal report.

Question 10

How do I get started with an Express Survey?

Accepted Answer

Contact the Cetas Healthcare team with the specific question you need answered, your target healthcare professional audience, and your timeline, and they'll scope a focused questionnaire and sample sized to get you an answer fast.
