Patient Experience Scores on [Hospital/Clinic website] [Dateline]
University of Utah Healthcare - First to market with displaying their patient experience scores on their site’s Physician Directory Service Excellence team manually updates the reviews to a master physician database weekly Only reviews with PHI and blatantly defamatory (unrelated to medical service) are removed Displays an average score from ‘1-5’ for each question and physician Only displays when a physician has 30+ reviews Reviewers names are not displayed Case Study
Why should we do this? Transparency – Consumers/Patients have the right to transparency when selecting a physician Reputation Management – We have no control over what gets posted on health review sites like Vitals and Healthgrades – Patient experience data scores will almost always be more positive than anything posted on these review sites (see slide 5) Search Optimization – Google loves reviews, the more the better (see Amazon) – When searching a physician, the site with the most reviews will display first
Example- In organic search, sites with the most ratings will pull up first (Healthgrades, Vitals, etc.) In Dr. [Name] example, his scores are not optimal Healthgrades: # out of # (# reviews) Vitals: # out of # (# reviews) Rate MDs: # out of # (# reviews) Ratings below national average Patient’s will see these reviews when researching [Hospital/Clinic name] physicians [Hospital/Clinic Name] Physician Reputation Insert sample screenshot of a Google search that predates the Reputation solution implementation, showing poor ratings on third-party sites.
Review Comparison – Dr. [Name]. Patient Experience: -# out of # star rating -## reviews * * Only ## days of data Healthgrades: -# out of # star rating -# reviews Vitals: -# out of # star rating -# reviews Rate MDs: -# out of # star rating -# reviews
