I am also in healthcare tech and also worked with the idea of a doctor rating system focused specifically on using doctor procedure/diagnosis billing data and PQRS. We abandoned the idea due to lack of data for each healthcare field (cardiology, radiology, oncology, etc.) and hospitals not wanting to participate.

However, I have looked into incentivized, distributed platforms such as wings.ai or golem.network and believe that this could be applied to healthcare. If patients were incentivized on going to the doctor for a copy of the CPT/DGX codes on their bill and survey information around PQRS you would have a lot of useful data. This data could be used not only to provide a rating system of doctors, but also price comparison on CPT/RVU across the United States and the ability to provide PQRS data for doctors. Its an all in one, decentralized, healthcare platform for patients, doctors, and insurance providers.
