Instructions

Imagine you have moved to a new city where you do not know many people.
You realize that you need to find a new primary care physician.
When you try to find ratings about a doctor, there could be two sources:
     1. The department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which is an agency of the federal government
     2. Online ratings for physicians such as Yelp, RateMDs, Healthgrades, Vitals, Zocdoc, DoctorScorecard, etc.

How would you choose a doctor if the only information you have is a set of four ratings for each physician, as described below?

Every doctor in the city has four ratings. In each rating, the minimum (worst) is one star and the maximum (best) is five stars.

Government ratings based on clinical outcomes:
