What services does HealthGrades offer consumers?
HealthGrades’ Web site, www.healthgrades.com, gives consumers vital tools for evaluating and selecting hospitals, doctors and nursing homes based on quality.
HealthGrades provides objective provider ratings, profiles and directory information; tips, recommendations and checklists for selecting the best providers, with online maps and driving directions to each location.
The site can help consumers, for example, identify which hospital in each state has the best survival rate for coronary bypass surgery, or which local nursing homes in provide superior care.
The site also lets users select physicians among 110 specialties, and was the first Web site to offer cost information on medical procedures.
What services does HealthGrades offer corporations and health plans?
More than 125 of the nation’s largest employers and health plans provide HealthGrades’ healthcare ratings and interactive personal-finance and condition-management tools to their employees and members.
HealthGrades ratings generate cost savings for these companies and health plans by steering their employees and members away from poor-quality doctors, hospitals and nursing homes, and the extra costs they generate.
What services does HealthGrades offer hospitals?
More than 300 hospitals across the country work with HealthGrades’ physician-led teams to identify areas where quality can be improved, and with HealthGrades’ consultants to license the company’s star ratings in their marketing materials.
