What is the PeopleClaim Registry and how do I use it?
The Registry is an online database of unresolved claims that have posted automatically after resolution deadlines established by claimants have expired. (It may also include pending claims, which post immediately in summary form, and in full after 30 days.) This unique information resource can be used by anyone seeking guidance choosing vendors or professional services. For example, it is useful to know if a doctor you’re considering has a record of malpractice claims; and, if so, whether this is above or below the average for his peer group in the Registry. Besides the number of claims, a prospective patient can read claim details, which may reveal important qualitative considerations, such as attitude, cooperation, and professionalism. The Registry grows in usefulness over time as claims are added. It is a resource that will reward repeat visits and usage, and is likely to become a valuable Step One in almost any evaluation of product and service providers.
