Most Patients Rate Their Own Physicians Very Highly.
American Medical News
(12/27, O'Reilly) reported, "Even as physicians face increasing
pressure to perform well on measures of patient satisfaction, they may
take some comfort in knowing that most patients rate their own doctors
very highly." Research "based on nearly 15,000 patient online ratings
between 2004 to 2010" indicated that "the average physician rating is
9.3 out of 10." American Medical News added, "The less time that
patients spend in the waiting room and the more
time they spend in the exam room with a physician, the higher the
doctor's rating, the study said." The research was published in Health
Outcomes Research in Medicine.
