With ever-rising social media communication transparency and the influence of the CAHPS surveys, patients are beginning to review the medical facilities they received treatment at on location-based websites like Yelp and Google. Patients are willfully sharing with others how they felt they were treated both in person and online.

In medical facilities all over the country, the shift in patient behavior is palpable. The Internet age has given way to a more educated and aware consumer, and as a result, online patient-authored reviews are now just a few clicks or taps away.
