Abstract
A method and system for aggregating and standardizing healthcare quality ratings includes a process for aggregating and standardizing healthcare quality ratings whereby data representing healthcare provider quality ratings is obtained from one or more sources, i.e., parties offering and/or presenting healthcare provider quality ratings data. The data representing healthcare provider quality ratings obtained from one or more sources is then aggregated. The aggregated data representing healthcare provider quality ratings obtained from one or more sources is then standardized and/or normalized to provide a standardized and uniform ratings format/system. The normalized aggregated data representing healthcare provider quality ratings obtained from one or more sources is then stored, for access by authorized parties.
