There will be a Patient Rating and an "Official" Rating (like how movies have Fan Reviews and Critics Reviews). Patient Rating will be based solely on Patient Survey results. "Official" Rating will be based on readmissions and other statistics that still need to be selected.

Patient Rating Algorithm: Each survey question has three db columns, with one tracking percentage of negative responses, one tracking average responses, and one tracking positive. Rating system is out of 200, with number of negative percentage points counting for 0 each, number of average responses counting for 1 each, and number of positive responses counting for 2 each. Once added up, the number is reduced to a scale out of 5. Example: Hospital X nurses get 12% negative, 30% average, and 58% positive. Their score out of 200 would be 146/200. On a scale of 5 they would get 3.7 / 5. Each category is calculated this way, and the average of all of them are calculated to get the number of stars out of 5 for the hospitals as a whole.
