Overview

For Providers

Professional webpages for each provider and some additional staff are published across U of U Health's websites. Find information about where each type of profile information on your webpage is generated from and how to update it.

Much of your profile information is maintained in a database called the U-CV System.* Read more below.​​

For Provider Faculty​ 

Professional webpages for each provider/faculty member are published across U of U Health's websites. Find information about where each type of profile information on your webpage is generated from and how to update it.

Customized by Audience

Instead of creating two separate webpages for providers who are also faculty members (one for providers and one for faculty), we have designed one profile webpage that includes information for both. Below the billboard (top horizontal section with your main information), you will see tabbed sections for Clinical and Academic respectively. 

Clinicians and academics can customize their professional profiles that appear on the University of Utah Health websites. The profile pages are a frame for information that is populated by various databases and sources. 

Much of your profile information is maintained in a database called the U-CV System.* Read more below.​​

U-CV Database

The majority of your profile information is updated in the U-CV system. University Faculty Information Systems (UFIS) has a robust information portal about how to update these items on your profile that are stored in the U-CV database.

This information includes the following:

  • ​Your name
  • Your credentials
  • Related locations (office, clinic, or institution)
  • Contact information (phone, email)
  • Headshot/Photo  (See how to upload.)
    • Clinical bio—Patient-audience focused​
    • Academic bio—Academically related colleagues-focused audience: residents, fellows, trainees, and the like (queued for separate inclusion)
  • Specialties (clinical)
  • Research statement
  • Research interests
  • Research lab link
  • Academic certifications
  • Publications
  • Education history
  • Languages spoken

Star Ratings and Patient Comments for Clinical Providers

After most visits, patients will receive a survey via text, email, or mail. The Patient Experience team will add responses to the Care Provider section of the survey your profile in two ways:

  • Star Ratings are calculated from all survey responses from the Care Provider questions on the survey. Once we have a provider has received 30+ surveys about a provider, we will add the star rating and update themd on a bi-annual basis.
  • Comments from the Care Provider section are posted in their entirety, except for patient names and dates, which are removed for patient privacy. Once a provider has received 10+ surveys, we will add the comments on a monthly basis to the provider's profile.

Find out more about how star ratings/provider reviews are generated and moderated by the Patient Experience team.

Patient Scheduling

Patient scheduling options/buttons are managed by the Revenue Cycle Support Service.

If you, as a provider, want to use online scheduling, you must contact the access specialist for your area. View the access specialists.

Once the team has set up access and tested it, the scheduling button should appear on the provider's profile. If it does not, please submit a ticket to the Digital Experience's team request queue​.

Institutional Designations

If you are a member of one of these institutions, this information will be noted in U-CV. Once you are flagged, the logo for this institution will show on your provider profile.

If you have questions about this, contact the U-CV team through their request portal.

News, Podcasts, & Videos

The news section is an aggregation of multiple types of news, blogs, podcasts, and videos. Most of this content is aggregated onto U-CV profiles, but some is still scheduled in the developer backlog to be restored.

News/content included on the news and podcasts tabs includes the following:

  • Press releases
  • News items
  • The Scope podcasts
  • HealthFeed blog posts
  • Patient stories

The Public Affairs/Content Marketing and Clinical Marketing teams manage content production and publishing of the content types listed above.

To add a news story, podcast, video, and the like to a provider profile, either assure that the individual's unid is tagged on the relevant content or send a ticket to the Digital Experience's team request queue and they can direct you to the right place.

Video Profile

You can now add a video to your profile. To do this, upload the video to kaltura and then send in a ticket to the Digital Experience team's request queue. Once the team has uploaded the video, it will show in 24-48 hours when the webpage has been recached.

Clinical Trials: Queued for Addition

Due to the transition of clinical trials from uTRAC to the Study Locator database, integration of clinical trials directly into the health care website has been slowed and limited.

This feature is queued for work within the next year. (Please understand that the complexity of managing and integrating multiple databases into an enterprise level system is robust.)

If you have more questions or would like assistance, please email hscwebmaster@hsc.utah.edu.

*U-CV is the organizational system whereby every faculty member or clinical provider's information is stored in a database. This database allows all members hands-on access to their own profile information, which is then fed into multiple places across our system websites.

This system allows not just hands-on control for individuals over their personal profiles, but also an auto-feed function, enabling us to set up this data feed in multiple places which then auto-updates itself without any other maintenance. Since we manage roughly 30K pages across our sites, you can imagine how this dynamic structure is helpful, particularly when it comes to making sure an individual's profile has all the same information rather than multiple profiles across more than one website with different information.

This database was formerly called MBM.
