• Patient engagement toolkit. Healthgrades and TOA will soon provide a patient engagement toolkit. The toolkit will include cards and online links that TOA members can provide to patients to remind them to add a rating to Healthgrades.
• In late December, Healthgrades will transition from only offering star ratings to also offering actual patient reviews, which is similar to Yelp.
• Healthgrades will offer search engine optimization (SEO) tutorials in the near future.

In February 2016, United Healthcare (UHC) announced that it would incorporate Healthgrades’ patient satisfaction ratings into the UHC provider search. Click here for an overview from UHC.
