Tips for Physicians
• When a patient asks how they can help you, ask them to write a review on Vitals.com. Vitals is one of the few physician rating websites where users can give a written review along with their ratings.
• Take a few minutes to review your hospital’s online profile page and confirm that information such as your phone number, address and clinical interests are up-to-date.
34
Tips for Physicians
• Put iPads or other devices in waiting rooms or at the checkout desk. It takes 30-50 seconds for patients to complete a survey that provides invaluable real time data. If there’s a need for service recovery, your office can do that immediately.
• Operational issues often impact physician ratings as much as the interaction with the physician. Make sure staff know exactly what questions are on the survey. When they understand the importance of their role in the patient experience, they bring their A game.
35
Maximize Online Content
• Web pages through specialty/sub-specialty societies• Videos
– Explanation of diagnoses and procedures– Patient testimonials
• Images• Hyperlinking of websites/pages to your “core” content• Accurate addresses and phone numbers on Vitals,
Healthgrades and related websites.
