Choosing High Quality Hospitals. NHS Choices.

Clients: The King’s Funds, London School of Economics and Political Science, IESE Business School


Series of behavioral laboratory and field experiments exploring the impact of various behavioral nudges and, in general, of choice architecture on choices made by NHS patients and travelers were programmed and conducted using Expilab web-platform. Decision process-tracing tools that allowed collection of data about participants’ attention areas during the choice tasks were embedded into the design of the field experiments.

    Challenges
  • Fast prototyping of experimental conditions
  • Extended flexibility of experimental designs
  • Replication of NHS choices and travel agency websites (decision environments)
  • Inclusion decision-process tracing for online and lab
    Solution
  • One-stop service solution from programming to data analysis (including preparation of heatmaps)
  • Experimental setup allowing testing nudges in any decision environments
    Results
  • 2000+ lab and online participants, England only
  • Publication of high impact policy report published by the King’s Fund
  • Publication at Harvard Business Review (Reutskaja, E., & Fasolo, B. (2013). It’s not necessarily best to be first. Harvard business review, 91(1-2), 3.)
  • Presentations of findings at EACR and SPUDM international conferences

Range of public policy-making reports (by The King’s Fund) and a research article published by Harvard Business Review were developed as a result of the experiments conducted with the support of Expilab team.
