SALISBURY — TidalHealth, a leading provider of healthcare services in the region, is proud to announce a new partnership with Ratings MD, a cutting-edge platform that helps healthcare providers deliver transparent patient reviews and star ratings.

This collaboration is designed to enhance the online experience for consumers by offering easy access to star ratings and valuable insights directly on the TidalHealth website. Ratings MD is known for its reliable and secure platform that offers verified patient feedback.

“Ratings are a part of our daily lives. Physicians, patients, and providers want accurate, real-time information that will improve care and enhance the healthcare experience,” said Joseph Kim, MD, Executive Medical Director at TidalHealth and physician champion of the project.

As part of this partnership, TidalHealth will feature, and update regularly, patient reviews and ratings for its providers, services, and facilities at tidalhealth.org/patient-ratings. Powered by Ratings MD’s advanced technology, the star ratings system allows patients to share their post-visit experiences through a brief survey in MyChart, making it easier for prospective patients to make informed decisions about their healthcare.

The ratings, by real patients, will be based on key factors including likely to recommend the provider, did the provider spend enough time, did the provider listen carefully, did the provider offer easy to understand directions, did the provider know the patient’s medical history, and the overall rating the patient would give the provider.

“We are thrilled to partner with Ratings MD to provide our patients and the community with a clearer, easier and more transparent way to evaluate healthcare providers,” said Dr. Trudy Hall, Chief Medical Officer at TidalHealth. “This initiative aligns with our commitment to transparency and delivering the highest quality care while empowering our patients with the information they need to make the best healthcare choices for themselves.”

Beginning June 30, patients may visit the TidalHealth website to explore ratings and reviews from other patients, which will help them align with the right providers, whether they are looking for a primary care physician, specialist, or a specific medical service. With the ability to view star ratings alongside detailed patient comments, users can feel confident in their healthcare decisions.

“Patients deserve to know how their friends and neighbors rate providers on the key healthcare experiences that matter most to them,” added Dr. Kim.
