Find a Doctor upgrades coming soon
Coming this fall, we will be enhancing our Find a Doctor tool on priorityhealth.com. This will expand members’ ability to search for, and learn about, Priority Health providers. For the first time, users will be able to view information provided by HealthGrades
®, an independent health care ratings organization, as well as Priority Health quality ratings (apples), which are based on our Partners in Performance (PIP) incentive program.
HealthGrades HealthGrades ratings, which are currently available to the general public through search engines such as Google, provide an opportunity for existing and potential patients to gather objective input about providers and hospitals, which can improve patients’ confidence in the service and care they will receive from your practice. You can learn more about their rating system by going to
healthgrades.com.
How does HealthGrades rate health care providers? HealthGrades compiles outcomes data from dozens of independent public and private sources and translates it into easily understandable, objective report card ratings on providers and hospitals. It risk-adjusts the data in order to make valid and accurate comparisons among providers, taking into account that the demographic characteristics of patients and the severity of patients’ illnesses may vary at different locations.
Some of the areas HealthGrades reports on include:
(Ratings are on a 1-5 star scale.)
- Overall rating
- Recommend to a friend
- Level of trust
- Helps patient understand their condition
- Listens and answers questions
- Time spent with patient
- Scheduling appointments
- Office environment
- Office friendliness
- Wait time
