CareDash is committed to providing transparency for patients seeking quality information about healthcare providers. As the fastest growing doctor ratings and reviews website, this makes CareDash a place where you and your practice want to be seen – and look great too – when it happens. Remember, more and more, first impressions online are happening on websites other than yours.<\/span><\/p>\n

In today\u2019s blog, we\u2019ll be covering what it takes to fill out, enhance, and standout amongst your peers CareDash profile. Let\u2019s start with the first step – logging into the CareDash Dashboard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Navigating Your CareDash Dashboard<\/span><\/h2>\n

In a previous blog, we covered how you can go about claiming your CareDash profile. But, once that\u2019s done \u2013 the real work begins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just like you wouldn\u2019t want your front desk staff to simply say \u201cThis is an <\/span>okay <\/span><\/i>office,\u201d \u00a0you don\u2019t want your CareDash profile effectively saying the same thing to prospective patients online. By putting in all the right information, uploading great photos, and soliciting reviews from your patients, you\u2019ll be able to tell prospective patients online that you\u2019re the best in your area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve signed in, the first place you\u2019ll start is your dashboard.<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

For doctors and practice managers alike, this is the area you\u2019ll use to monitor any and all CareDash profiles that you\u2019ve claimed. For some, this may just be one practice or provider profile. For others, there may be numerous profiles under both tabs that must be managed.<\/span><\/p>\n

To start, find the profile you\u2019ve claimed under the \u201cClaimed Providers\u201d or \u201cClaimed Practices\u201d tab.<\/span><\/p>\n

We always recommend that you <\/span>audit <\/span><\/i>your existing profile first. You can do this by clicking \u201cView Profile\u201d and seeing what information is currently on the profile. For many doctors who are first claiming their profile, frequent changes that are made include updating the image available and adding more information regarding their mission and values, history, and available technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

If there\u2019s something that you\u2019d like to expand upon, or information that must be corrected, please take note of these points. Having a list will make it easier to address necessary changes while you\u2019re actively editing the profile.<\/span><\/p>\n

How You Can Edit Your CareDash Profile<\/span><\/h2>\n

Like many profile-based websites, CareDash makes it easy and intuitive for doctors and practice managers to update the information that patients can view on each profile.<\/span><\/p>\n

To get the process started, simply click \u201cEdit Profile.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re on the next screen, which is the editing portal, you\u2019ll be able to view the backend of your profile. All of the sections will be available to edit and expand upon.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Different Sections of Your CareDash Profile<\/span><\/h2>\n

CareDash prides itself on giving patients all the information they\u2019d need to make an informed decision about their healthcare.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your profile is broken down into seven sections within CareDash\u2019s profile editor. These sections are: basic, about, social links, profile picture, photo gallery, hours, and manage providers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You may notice that many sections are blank and only contain the grayed-out sample text from CareDash.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a good practice to spend time to fill each of these sections out. Though patients could get by with just your basic information, learning about your practice on a deeper level could help sway them into making an appointment with you over the competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Basic CareDash Information<\/span><\/h3>\n

In the \u201cBasic\u201d section of your profile, you\u2019ll be inputting information about your practice\u2019s location, the insurances you accept, and whether or not you\u2019re accepting new patients.<\/span><\/p>\n

To make things easier for patients, CareDash has even included a section that allows you to enter \u201cHow to Find Us\u201d section. In this area, you can type out directions that would allow someone to easily find your location. You may also add clarifying information, such as \u201cOur office is located in the back of the building.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cAbout\u201d CareDash Profile Section<\/span><\/h3>\n

Meant to give patients more transparency into your practice, CareDash has created a section that allows provider and practice managers to write:<\/span><\/p>\n
