FEBRUARY 2007
Announcing the Launch of the
DiagKNOWsis Doctor's Report Card


Patients now have access to a useful tool which will help them provide feedback about their experiences working with doctors and other healthcare providers.

The DiagKNOWsis Doctor's Report Card was developed to give patients a voice with their providers.  Whether they are satisfied -- even pleased -- with the care they have received, or they somehow think their experience could have been improved, patients are invited to use the report card to let their providers know.

Good doctors want input.  They understand that their continued good work depends on how well they relate and communicate with their patients. It is important for patients to let these doctors know how much they appreciate the good care they have received.

Other doctors, those who do not relate or communicate as well with patients, need fair feedback, whether they want it or not.  Awareness of their poor communications skills, poor patient service and/or ineffective treatment may be their first step toward improvement.

Everyone benefits from the use of this tool.  Patients benefit from improved methods for communicating with their providers.  Providers benefit because they can follow up on constructive criticism to improve their practices.

Use of the DiagKNOWsis Doctor's Report Card is free.  It is completely confidential since no information is collected digitally.  It can be accessed and used by patients as often as they would like at:
