Yelp adds hospital and health care data to help plan your treatment

<article>
   <section class="page">
<p>Yelp wants finding a good hospital to be as painless as tracking down a decent burrito.</p><p>As such, it’s partnering with the nonprofit news organization ProPublica to more data to its business listings for hospitals, nursing homes, and dialysis clinics. Where a restaurant listing might show operating hours and price ranges, hospital listings will show ER wait times, the quality of doctor communication, and the quietness of guest rooms, drawing on survey data from Medicare.gov’s Hospital Compare website.</p><p>For nursing homes, much of the data comes from ProPublica’s own research. For instance, users can look up the number of beds, any serious deficiencies, fines paid due to those deficiencies, and payment suspensions related to poor performance. Meanwhile, listings for dialysis will show death rates and the frequency of hospital readmissions.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2957206/websites/yelp-adds-hospital-and-health-care-data-to-help-plan-your-treatment.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
