- 8) Why don't I show up in Find a Doctor?
-
There could be a few reasons why your profile does not display in Find a Doctor:
- You have yet to be credentialed with the Medical Staff Office. Please check your status by emailing, MedicalStaffDirectoryFeedback@UHhospitals.org.

- You are an independent provider.
- 9) Why don't I have patient comments or star ratings?
-
We partner with the independent patient satisfaction company Press Ganey to survey patients about their experiences at UH facilities and with UH physicians to collect star ratings and comments. A physician’s rating will only be posted on the site providing he/she has a minimum of 30 completed surveys within a rolling 365 day period. If you have questions on ratings or comments, email Christopher Lawler.
- 10) What are Industry Relationships and why are they on my page?
-
At UH, we disclose payments to employed physicians of $5,000 or more from companies with which the physicians interact as part of their professional activities. These physician-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their physicians about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.
Per UH Policy CE-20 (Licensed Practitioner Interactions with Outside Sources), UH physicians seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, physicians report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Department of Compliance & Ethics annually through the Relationships of Interest Questionnaire. Compliance & Ethics review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care, and purchasing decisions.
If you have any questions about this information, please contact the UH Outside Interests Team of the UH Compliance & Ethics Department at OutsideInterests@UHhospitals.org.
