How does MediFind work?

Many providers have expertise treating multiple conditions. MediFind uses a variety of data sources to determine which conditions a provider treats and their level of experience in those conditions. Expert tiers are determined by a variety of factors using our proprietary algorithms. We consider factors such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials, speaking at industry conferences, prescribing and referral patterns, as well as the number of patients a doctor sees for a given condition.

What are “areas of expertise” on my profile and how do I edit them?

The health conditions listed on your profile are those with which our data indicate you have experience. If you would like to remove a condition, you can do so under the ‘Conditions Treated’ section in when editing your profile after creating a profile management account.

When evaluating expertise, we go beyond simply looking at the number of patients a provider sees for a given condition. We consider many additional factors such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials, speaking at industry conferences, prescribing and referral patterns, and strength of connections with other experts in their field. Based on this information, providers fall into one of four levels of expertise for each specific health condition:

Elite doctors are global leaders in their fields. In addition to seeing a high volume of patients and referrals for a given health condition, they publish many articles in medical journals, speak at medical conferences, and participate in multiple clinical trials. They are likely to be on the cutting edge of new treatments. These doctors are also likely to hold leadership positions in their respective organizations and fields.

Distinguished doctors are leaders in their fields and set themselves apart from many of their peers with their research portfolios and cutting-edge treatments, in addition to seeing large numbers of patients with a given health condition. These doctors are likely to have the most expertise in their region.

Advanced doctors can be excellent at diagnosing and treating conditions. They treat many patients and have extensive experience, however they are less likely to publish in medical journals, speak at medical conferences, or participate in clinical trials.

Experienced doctors focus on diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions, and can be either specialists or primary care physicians. They have some experience with the given health condition, but often refer patients to more specialized providers for complex or serious conditions. The majority of providers fall in this rating.
