Thursday, September 29th, 2016 -- 10:11 AM
-Benefits renewal season is upon us. As consumers look to renew their commercial health insurance plans, searching for a plan via health care exchanges or looking for a new provider, it’s important to know something about the provider who will care for their family.Marshfield Clinic now offers patient comments, in addition to provider scores based on patient surveys, publicly on the Clinic website. The Clinic is one of a small number of health care organizations in the U.S., and one of two in Wisconsin, to share Press Ganey patient-based provider scores and comments publicly.
In May, the Clinic debuted provider scores on its website in the interest of patient experience and public transparency. Providers receive a score on a 1-5 scale derived from the “care provider section” of medical practice surveys. The data is on the provider’s profile page on www.marshfieldclinic.org/doctors. More than 1,000 patient comments currently on the Clinic website are based on surveys from April, May and June, and will be updated monthly.
Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
