Rate A Hospital™
Rate A Hospital™ is a consumer-focused platform that empowers patients and caregivers to find, compare, rate, and review hospitals based on their firsthand healthcare experiences. The platform gives patients a voice while providing hospitals with valuable insight into how patients perceive the care and services they receive.
Connecting Healthcare Performance with the Patient Experience
Rate A Hospital complements The SafeCare Group's broader healthcare intelligence ecosystem by bringing together patient-reported experiences and hospital performance information. While SafeCare AI® focuses on predicting clinical risks and outcomes, SafeCareSoft® helps hospitals manage quality and performance, and 100 SafeCare Hospitals® recognizes high-performing hospitals, Rate A Hospital provides a platform for understanding the patient's perspective of care.
Rate A Hospital is built around a simple principle: patients' experiences matter. Patients can share firsthand experiences, helping others make more informed decisions about where to seek care. Reviews are moderated for compliance with content guidelines, while the platform states that it does not edit users' comments or rating selections. Hospitals cannot pay for positive reviews or pay to remove negative reviews.
Hospitals can also claim their profiles, respond to reviews, update hospital information, and engage with healthcare consumers through their Rate A Hospital presence.
Giving Patients a Voice
Rate A Hospital evaluates the patient experience across five important dimensions:
- Quality — How good is this hospital?
- Compassion — Do they care about you?
- Trust — Do you trust them?
- Relief — Did the treatment work?
- Recommend — Would you go back again?
