Statistical Analysis Details
Correlation Analysis
Calculates Pearson correlation coefficient between each question and overall satisfaction score. Helps identify:
- Which questions most strongly influence overall satisfaction
- Key drivers of patient experience
- Potential areas for targeted improvement
Skewness
Measures asymmetry in score distribution:
- Positive skew: Most scores are low (tail on right)
- Negative skew: Most scores are high (tail on left)
- Zero skew: Symmetric distribution
Kurtosis
Measures "tailedness" of distribution:
- High kurtosis: More extreme values (heavy tails)
- Low kurtosis: Fewer extreme values (light tails)
- Normal distribution: Kurtosis ≈ 3
Insights Generation
The system automatically generates insights based on:
-
Engagement Metrics
- Completion rates < 50%: High severity
- Completion rates 50-75%: Medium severity
- Completion rates > 75%: Low severity
-
Performance Metrics
- Average score < 3.0/5.0: High severity
- Average score 3.0-4.0/5.0: Medium severity
- Average score > 4.0/5.0: Positive
-
Quality Metrics
- Negative rate > 20%: High severity
- Negative rate 10-20%: Medium severity
- Negative rate < 10%: Positive
Channel Performance Analysis
Tracks survey performance across delivery channels:
- SMS: Typically high engagement, shorter surveys
- WhatsApp: Medium-high engagement, flexible length
- Email: Lower engagement, suitable for detailed surveys
Metrics tracked per channel:
- Number sent
- Number completed
- Completion rate
- Average satisfaction score

Integration Examples
Python Integration
import json
# Load JSON report
with open('survey_analytics_data.json', 'r') as f:
data = json.load(f)
# Access insights
for template in data['templates']:
for insight in template['insights']:
if insight['severity'] == 'high':
print(f"Action needed: {insight['message']}")
JavaScript Integration
// Load JSON report
fetch('survey_analytics_data.json')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
// Analyze channel performance
const channels = data.templates[0].channel_performance;
console.log('Best channel:',
Object.entries(channels)
.sort((a, b) => b[1].completion_rate - a[1].completion_rate)[0][0]
);
});
File Locations
- Command:
apps/surveys/management/commands/generate_survey_analytics_report.py - Default Output Directory:
reports/(created if not exists) - Output Files:

Performance Considerations
- Large Datasets: For surveys with >10,000 responses, consider limiting date range
- Memory Usage: JSON output can be large for multiple templates
- Processing Time: Varies based on data volume (typically 5-30 seconds)

Testing
Run the test suite:
python test_survey_analytics_enhanced.py
This will:
- Generate basic Markdown report
- Generate JSON report and validate structure
- Generate HTML report and verify ApexCharts
- Test template-specific reporting
- Verify all enhanced features
Troubleshooting
Issue: Command not found
Solution: Ensure Django is properly set up and the app is installed in settings.py
Issue: No data in report
Solution: Verify survey instances exist in the database. Historical data can be seeded using:
python manage.py seed_historical_surveys
Issue: Statistical metrics are null
Solution: Statistical calculations require at least 3 completed responses per question
Issue: HTML charts not rendering
Solution: Ensure internet connection for ApexCharts CDN or use local installation
Support
For issues or questions:
- Check the test output files in
test_analytics_output/ - Review the command help:
python manage.py generate_survey_analytics_report --help - Examine the generated JSON for detailed data structure
Conclusion
The enhanced survey analytics system provides comprehensive insights into patient experience data with statistical rigor, intelligent analysis, and flexible reporting options. Organizations can now:
- Identify key drivers of patient satisfaction
- Track performance across channels and departments
- Receive AI-powered recommendations for improvement
- Generate professional reports for stakeholders
- Integrate analytics into existing workflows
The system is production-ready and can be scheduled as a cron job for regular reporting.
