The University for Arkansas Medical Sciences in Little Rock is the first medical center in the state to post patient ratings of their physicians online, according to The Washington Times.
The UAMS website features ratings and comments of physicians with at last 30 patient surveys, according to the report. The surveys inquire about physician communication, listening, courtesy and respect in the outpatient setting.
The medical center will post both positive and negative reviews, according to the report. It will not post those with libelous, profane or private information.
