California consumers can turn to some new advice when picking a healthcare provider, thanks to a new online platform that encourages nurses to write reviews on individual physicians.
The California-based health ratings and review firm CareSeek Inc. has launched the platform, www.NursesRateDoctors.com. Nurses are able to anonymously evaluate physicians based on factors such as communication skills, competence, and efficiency. The nurses are also able to report how the physician treats staff members and assert whether or not they would recommend the physician to a patient.
Officials at Nurses Rate Doctors say that the insight will ensure that consumers receive the highest level of quality when it comes to a healthcare provider. They hope to one day reach their goal of 1 million reviews.
