Health Care: Perceived Lack of Quality Leads to Consumer Rating Websites

by Joan Trombetti, Writer | September 27, 2008
New website connects
patients and providers
A unique website has launched in response to growing concerns about health care quality and satisfaction in the U.S.-- WhereToFindCare.com.

The new site allows visitors to share their experiences, research quality data, review other users' ratings and contact providers directly. The website is free to consumers, and its database includes more than 52,000 health care providers nationwide, including hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, rehabilitation facilities and home care agencies.

Patients can rate the care they received on a scale of one to five, leave comments and nominate an exceptional caregiver for recognition. Ratings are instantly aggregated and shared with the world, allowing future patients to learn from former patients' experiences before they choose a facility or service. In addition to patient feedback, visitors to WhereToFindCare.com can view quality data on all facilities as well as amenities, photos and virtual tours of participating facilities.

WhereToFindCare.com LLC supports free clinics by including them in their database at no cost and providing them free Premium Home Pages. They also offer small hospitals a reduced rate on Premium Home Pages.
