A Wall Street Journal Online / Harris Interactive Health Care survey found adults think, surveys of patient satisfaction an equitable way to measure the quality of medical measures such as the prevention of the frequency of meetings.
       “This is the type of information from someone who speaks back to the barrier,” said Wheeler. “Some people make this a piece of information they use, if decisions are made on the course somewhere for health care, if this is not an emergency.”
       Several websites, as drscore.com allow the user rate of Doctors without checking patients. Regence, the system sends the surveys to patients.
