The Beryl Institute-Ipsos PX Pulse latest release reveals critical opportunities for US healthcare organizations.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Beryl Institute and Ipsos released findings from the 16th edition of PX Pulse, a national survey tracking people’s current perspectives on the healthcare experience they have across the United States. This report trends data related to consumer experience from December 2019 through the fourth quarter of 2024. This issue reveals that 92% of consumers continue to feel experience is important with most pointing to their own health and wellbeing as the reason why.

“…we have an opportunity to inform and support people in better understanding and more effectively engaging in the healthcare system, as consumers, patients and family members.”

This issue takes a deeper dive into three topics around how consumers understand and engage in their healthcare. Key findings include:

Most people are unaware of CMS Hospital Star Rating System and most rarely use it.Consumers express the need for control of healthcare decisions to be shared between patients and providers.Almost 20% of the U.S. population plays the role of caregiver, primarily for a family member, and most have difficulty navigating the healthcare system for the person they care for.

“In this release of PX Pulse, we get a true sense of the weight people carry as they experience healthcare today,” said Jason A. Wolf, PhD, CPXP, President & CEO, The Beryl Institute. “There are clear opportunities to help people identify where good experiences are happening, to be more active partners in their care decision making, and to ensure they have the support they need as family caregivers. Across the topics we explored in this issue, we find one common idea – we have an opportunity to inform and support people in better understanding and more effectively engaging in the healthcare system, as consumers, patients and family members.”

America’s Largest Political Group Is Getting Its Own Election Night

By

A record 45% of Americans identify with neither party. On November 3, they get the first nationally televised Election Night built around the independent voter bloc, presented by United Independents, the organization behind the Independent National Convention, in partnership with DeFiance Media.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Can the country’s largest bloc of voters turn identity into representation? Independents now make up 45% of U.S. adults, a record high in Gallup’s 2025 data, yet partisan coverage continues to dominate mainstream mediums. On November 3, one broadcast will cover the election from the Independent point of view.

Broadcast live from the National Press Club’s television studio in Washington, D.C. Election Night 2026: Independent Edition is an eight-hour program hosted by Christopher Life, founder and CEO of United Independents, and Macy Gunnell, NewsForce’s White House correspondent. DeFiance Media will be producing and streaming the broadcast.

Built on live election data from The Associated Press (AP), the program will call the national races as the returns come in. Then it goes where other broadcasts don’t: race-by-race coverage of independent candidates in consequential congressional contests, and guest conversations with the strategists and organizers behind them.

Built for the Voters Both Parties Are Chasing

Two generations of Americans have come of age as independent voters, and in 74 years of nationally televised Election Night broadcasts, not one has been built around them. This one is: national results and the balance of power, dedicated coverage of the independent candidates who could tip the next Congress, and a live chat with selected viewer questions put to the hosts and guests on air.

Open to Every Newsroom

Television pool feed. U.S. television outlets, including local stations, can carry the program live, in full or in part, separate from DeFiance Media’s full-program streaming.Social streaming. The broadcast streams through participating social media partners. Channels that want to carry it can sign up at Election2026.live.Live clips and excerpts.
