Sarasota Orthopedic Associates Deploys IDS Patient Survey Technology  

Sarasota Orthopedic Associates (SOA) has implemented a data gathering and analytics tool, as part of its quality initiative designed to improve knowledge of patient expectations and monitoring of SOA's service and care.

The technology, developed by IDS, a Ft. Lauderdale based healthcare IT firm, offers an all-in-one survey process for data collection, data compilation and real-time reporting.
