What's Up with the Bees?
Actually, it’s one bee—our mascot, Federico! You’ve likely seen him buzzing around our website and at conferences, and it’s about time we gave him a formal introduction.
So, why did we choose a bee? Because we pollin8™ reviews across the top healthcare review sites, of course!


Have you picked up a squishy Federico figurine from one of our conference booths? Post a photo of him, tag us on social media, and use #whereisfederico! Bonus points if you share your favorite pun about the world’s most efficient pollin8or—and we aren’t just talking about the bees.

Welcome New Clients
Here are a handful of new medical practices that joined the rater8 hive in August 2022.

New on the Blog
Platforms like Facebook and Google give patients a voice, but they also pose risks if you fail to protect patients’ personal information. Explore how you can respond to patient reviews while complying with HIPAA privacy requirements.
Do you struggle to attract quality candidates to apply for your open jobs? Does your recruiting team spend countless hours reviewing resumes that aren’t quite what you’re looking for? Consider these strategies!
