Abstract
Aspects of the present invention relate to system and methods for assigning quality scores to one or more caregivers, such as physicians. In embodiments, a ranking or score may be based, at least in part, upon a combination of quality scores from one or more stages in a physician's academic training and clinic practice and based, at least in part, upon the quality of peers of that physician at various stages in the career progression of the physician. This information may be used to help a potential patient identify a physician for their care.
