PatientPad Receives Endorsement from American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS)

ATLANTA, April 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Assent is proud to announce its selection by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) as an Endorsed Member Service (EMS) partner. In addition to being endorsed by ASAPS, the company's PatientPad® tablet solution will be the exclusive source for capturing and publishing patient testimonials to ASAPS' new SmartBeautyGuide.com website.

"We are thrilled to be officially endorsed by ASAPS and invited to demonstrate the unique capabilities of our PatientPad system this month at their annual meeting in San Francisco," said Andrew Ibbotson, founder and CEO of Digital Assent.   "We're also excited to announce some special features that will only be offered to ASAPS members."  

PatientPad® is the healthcare industry's first in-office solution for capturing online reviews and testimonials from patients.  Once collected, these patient endorsements can be easily published to the doctor's website and Facebook page, Google search, and popular ratings websites like Healthgrades, Vitals and Yelp.  As a result of this new partnership, ASAPS members will also have the ability to publish patient testimonials directly to their enhanced profile listing on SmartBeautyGuide.com.

"SmartBeautyGuide.com helps patients in their physician selection process by giving them one central destination to learn more about ASAPS member surgeons and aesthetic procedures" said Sue Dykema, Executive Director of ASAPS.  "As patient reviews and testimonials continue to grow in importance, we're thrilled to offer this integration for our members – so they can easily capture and display patient testimonials on their SmartBeautyGuide.com enhanced profiles." 

All plastic surgeons can benefit from other popular PatientPad capabilities, such as real-time CareCredit^® healthcare financing and patient self-enrollment in Allergan's Brilliant Distinctions^® loyalty program, which allows patients to earn points and rebates for qualifying Allergan products and treatments.

As with all ASAPS EMS partners, PatientPad offers a discount to all current ASAPS members on their setup fee and monthly software subscription.  To kick off the partnership, PatientPad is offering an additional "early bird" discount to all ASAPS members who sign up before the Aesthetic Meeting on April 24th.
