Capturing Social Determinants of Health Surveys Using the Rounds Software Platform

Rounds software subscribers can now create Social Determinants of Health Surveys (SDOH) to capture an important piece of having a 360° view of their patients. According to the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement, nearly 80% of physicians believe addressing social needs is as important as medical care, but most do not feel prepared to address them.
