Yelp adding hospital and healthcare data to site

Survey information will include ER wait times and the quietness of patient rooms


Yelp is adding hospital and healthcare data to site with survey information that will include ER wait times and the quietness of patient rooms, according to an article on the PC World website.

Yelp is partnering with the nonprofit news organization ProPublica to add listings for hospitals, nursing homes, and dialysis clinics. 

Hospital listings will draw on survey data from Medicare.gov’s Hospital Compare website.

For nursing homes, much of the data comes from ProPublica’s research. Users can look up the number of beds, any serious deficiencies, fines paid due to those deficiencies, and payment suspensions related to poor performance.
