■Objective ratings websites are tough to find, study says
More than 80% of rating websites that come up when people search under terms such as "doctor reports" or "hospital ratings" are based on anecdotal reports, according to a study in the American Journal of Medical Quality. Dr. Brian Sick of the University of Minnesota Primary Care Center said highly findable sites, such as RateMDs.com, Vitals.com and Yelp.com, are private and provide information based on patient experience, while sites that have quality information and comparable data are more difficult for consumers to find.
