Delivering safer, more connected healthcare operations.
For more than 20 years, RLDatix has championed safety as our driving force. We are the only organization integrating data across risk, safety, compliance, provider lifecycle and workforce management to provide decision-makers with the critical insights they need to enhance care quality and improve patient outcomes across the enterprise. This approach, prioritizing safety and outcomes for patients, workforces and organizations alike, is what we call connected healthcare operations.
Together, we can create a brighter future where meaningful data insights lead to safer healthcare for all.
Improving Patient and Healthcare Worker Safety With Artificial Intelligence
With nearly 8 million incidents of medical harm each year and one in four hospitalizations resulting in an adverse event, patient safety remains among the greatest challenges facing healthcare. Now, artificial intelligence (AI) offers a part of a solution. AI can play a role in mitigating risks and improving healthcare outcomes to work toward safer, more equitable care delivery. By implementing predictive and generative AI technology, health systems can support clinical decision-making, uncover the underlying drivers of medical harm and automate tasks to relieve some of the administrative burden on clinicians. However, AI comes with its own challenges. Factors such as AI bias and errors can have catastrophic consequences if left unchecked and health systems must put checks and balances in place to mitigate the unintended consequences of AI.
In this webinar, chief patient safety and risk officer at RLDatix and vice president of scientific affairs at MedStar Health will discuss how AI can be used to improve patient safety, alleviate healthcare worker emotional exhaustion as well as the limitations of current technology.

Paying the Price: Addressing the Holistic Costs of Harm Through Connected Healthcare Operations
With nearly 8 million incidents of medical harm each year, patient safety remains the greatest challenge facing healthcare and the implications of harm extend even further. The physical and psychological ramifications are immediate for patients, families, and care teams; however, there are also measurable costs to healthcare organizations, which trickle into surrounding communities as well as our local and national healthcare systems over time.
In this webinar, RLDatix's Chief Strategy Officer, Darrell Johnson and Chief Financial Officer, Peter Holbrook, will discuss the financial ramifications of harm in healthcare and explore opportunities to reduce risk through connected healthcare operations.
