MyZindagi Feedback Collection and Fraud-Detection Policy
1. Scope
  This policy document covers the philosophy, intent and methodology used by MyZindagi to collect Feedback from Patients about Doctors and other Practitioners who are part of the MyZindagi eco-system.
2. Philosophy and Intent
  
  At MyZindagi, we believe in transparency and authenticity, and these are the 2 primary pillars on which the Feedback collection system is built. We intend to help Patients make a well-informed decision when it comes to their Health and authentic Feedback helps them achieve that. Doctors being MyZindagi closest friends throughout our successful journey, would be the other beneficiary, with authentic Feedback circulating in the Patient circles.
3. How we collect Feedback
  
  As of now MyZindagi endeavors to reach out to the following group of authentic Patients:
  - Patients who have booked appointments through MyZindagi app:
    MyZindagi reaches out to these Patients via SMS/E-mail within 3 days after their scheduled appointment schedule and ask them for Feedback on their appointment experience at the Clinic with the Doctor. MyZindagi has complete ownership of this flow of feedback collection since MyZindagi is responsible for giving the best experience to patients booking an appointment.
4. Nature of Feedback
  
  The MyZindagi Feedback Collection System currently asks Patients about their appointment experience. The information collected would primarily be categorized as below:
  - Doctor recommendation – whether the patient would recommend the doctor to his/her friends and family
  - Wait-time – how long the patient had to wait for his/her appointment
  - Doctor Feedback – Patient’s testimonial about appointment experience with the Doctor
5. Authenticity of Feedback Collection
  
  As part of our efforts to collect and display authentic Feedback, MyZindagi abides by these set of rules:
  - A Patient would be probed with SMS/E-mail for Feedback on an appointment with a Doctor only once in a month
  - A Patient cannot give multiple Feedback for a single appointment
  - Appointments booked via MyZindagi includes (but not restricted to) appointments from the following sources:
    - Doctor and Practice profile on MyZindagi.com or smartphone apps
MyZindagi Feedback Moderation and Fraud Detection Policy
1. Scope: This Policy document intends to explain the Feedback Moderation and Fraud Detection system deployed in MyZindagi.
2. Philosophy and Intent: An online healthcare ecosystem of MyZindagi magnitude sees a large number of Patients giving Feedback about their Appointment experience on a daily basis. Given the volume of Feedback entering the MyZindagi Feedback Collection System we consider it very important to make sure only the helpful and authentic feedback reach out to the Patients who visit MyZindagi.com and assist them in their Patient experience.
3. Helpful and Authentic feedback: A helpful and authentic Feedback is one that complies with MyZindagi Feedback Standards and other information points probed by MyZindagi Feedback Collection System, and more importantly, is submitted by an authentic user. Some of the Feedback we do not entertain on MyZindagi are:
  - Feedback that is 3-worded or less – we have observed that they don’t help patients looking for insightful patient experiences
  - Feedback that tends to have ulterior motives – advertising, spam, abuse, etc.
4. Moderation Team: We have a team of moderators that examine questionable Feedback. We also use automated tools on the site that help flag questionable content for review and we are working on enabling our large and passionate community of millions of users keep an eye out as well.
5. Moderation team would be responsible for screening the Feedback posted by Patients abiding by MyZindagi Feedback Standards.
6. Each Feedback is evaluated as a whole while moderating – e.g. A Feedback that happens to start with relevant information and ends up with statements that do not comply with MyZindagi Feedback Standards would not be published. A moderator can take the following generic stances on any incoming Feedback:
  - Publish
  - Withhold for investigation
  - Decline to publish
7. Moderation Rate: The majority of Feedback is posted within 48 hours of submission. If a Feedback is flagged for a closer look by our moderators, it may take longer, especially during our busiest days. We try to base every decision we make on what our members will find helpful and relevant. At times, Feedback under investigation may take several weeks to process.
8. Positive and negative Feedback: As long as Feedback meets our guidelines, we’re happy to post it whether it’s positive or negative. The majority of our Feedback is indeed positive, and we do not influence or change the content.
9. Fraud Detection: Misusing or manipulating Feedback systems for personal benefit is the last thing MyZindagi would want to entertain on the MyZindagi Feedback System. MyZindagi has come up with its own standards and processes to detect Fraud and deal with them in the appropriate manner.
10. Fraud as defined by MyZindagi: The following actions may be considered fraudulent:
  - Attempts by a Doctor or Clinic to boost his/her/its own property’s reputation by:
    - Writing feedback for his/her own practice
    - Asking friends or relatives to write positive feedback
    - Submitting feedback on behalf of a Patient
    - Copying comment cards and submitting them as feedback
    - Pressuring MyZindagi or a Patient to remove a negative feedback
    - Offering incentives such as discounts, upgrades, or any special treatment in exchange for feedback
    - Hiring an optimization company, third party marketing organization, or anyone to submit false feedback
  - Attempts by a Doctor to damage his/her competitors by submitting negative feedback.
11. Bottom Line: Any attempt to mislead, influence or impersonate a Patient is considered fraudulent and will be subject to penalty.
12. Detecting fraud: Unfortunately we are unable to disclose the specifics of our Fraud Detection System but we can tell you that we dedicate significant time and resources ensuring that the content on MyZindagi reflects quality feedback by authentic Patients. We have quality assurance specialists who have brought a wide range of professional experience to enhance our prevention methods and our team spends thousands of hours every year ensuring the integrity of Feedback on MyZindagi. We also use automated tools that help flag questionable content for review, and very soon we will enable our large and passionate community of users to keep an eye out as well.
13. Repercussions of being fraudulent: If we determine that there is fraudulent Feedback submitted for a Doctor/Clinic , there could be several consequences:
  - A fraudulent health-care entity might not be the right choice for a Patient. So a
  - Doctor/Clinic may drop by several points in the MyZindagi index.
  - We are working on putting up a penalty notice, explaining that the feedback about Doctor/Clinic is suspicious, and this may appear on the listing page.
14. Legal side of fraudulent reviews: In addition to being a violation of our terms of service and an unethical practice, this is also a violation of the law in many jurisdictions. In July 2009, New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo settled a case which resulted in a $300,000 penalty for a company posting fake consumer reviews. It is also illegal to post fake reviews in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Germany, Ireland, Sweden and the Netherlands (among other countries) pursuant to the EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, adopted by these countries.
