Sharp HealthCare, Ochsner Health look to better manage online patient reviews Getty Images Sharp HealthCare in California is betting that if it can just get more of its patients to leave Google reviews, power in numbers will improve the health system s online reputation. When you just let it be organic, you re disproportionally getting negative responses, said Kelly Faley, Sharp s vice president of digital strategy. When you make it easy for patients to leave reviews on an ongoing basis, you get more positives than you did before. To that end, San Diego-based Sharp recently hired Podium, a company that specializes in interaction management, to remind patients to leave reviews and make it easy for them to do so. Sharp is one of thousands of healthcare providers big and small that have enlisted so-called reputation management vendors to help them get a handle on the Wild West of online reviews.
