We ran four stories this week already about online ratings for hospitals, doctors and other healthcare providers - from the government, Angie's List , and other companies. Is online rating good, bad or...? What's the word for it...have you rated anything? Would you believe what was posted?

I think people are getting more used to reading online reviews and taking them with a grain of salt, although lately i have been sort of shocked about what i see on yelp.com about some of my favorite restaurants. People are awfully picky.

On the other hand, how can patients evaluate doctors and healthcare standards? It's different with food or movies - the bar is not very high.

I wish I could get doctors to rate other doctors, etc. I saw a site today for nursesrecommenddoctors.com and i thought that was very interesting.
