RLDatix's Connected Healthcare Summit Draws 400+ Health System Leaders as Company Advances AI-Powered Patient Safety and Provider Performance Solutions
New AI-powered capabilities from RLDatix and real-world case studies from leading health systems address healthcare's most pressing challenges
NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RLDatix (RLD), a global leader in connected safety, workforce and data solutions for more than 10,000 healthcare organizations, today concluded its 2026 Connected Healthcare Summit with record breaking attendance. The event convened more than 400 health system leaders to confront one of the industry's most urgent challenges: closing the gap between safety data and real-world action in an effort to raise the standard of care delivery.
The company's RLD360™ platform delivers patient safety, manages risk, supports compliance, and improves governance. At the Summit, RLDatix demonstrated AI-powered capabilities already in use across the RLD360™ platform, including intelligent incident reporting, automated policy generation, and Risk Insights Dashboards, a new advanced analytics experience.
Sessions addressed top issues leaders face — translating insight into action, breaking down silos, and embedding safety into daily operations — through real-world case studies, peer-led discussions, and hands-on training. Speakers included leaders from: Adventist Healthcare, Allegheny Health, Arkansas Children's, Baptist Health, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Children's Nebraska, ChristianaCare, Duke Health, ECU Health, Endeavor Health, GBMC Healthcare, Geisinger, Henry Ford Health, Integris Health, McLaren Health Care, McLeod Health, MedStar Health, Methodist Health System, Midwest Surgical Hospital, MUSC Health, North Mississippi Medical Center, Ochsner Health, OrthoSouth, Parkland Hospital, PeaceHealth, Providence, SCA Health, Scripps Health, St. Francis Hospital, Tahoe Forest Health System, Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance, UCLA Health, University Hospitals, University of Michigan Health, USA Health, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Virtua, WVU Medicine and more.
"What we heard from leaders reinforces that the commitment to safe, high quality care is deep and genuine," said Dan Michelson, CEO of RLDatix. "The challenge is that healthcare leaders are navigating competing pressures that make it difficult to translate insight into action. To that end, we are seeing significant breakthroughs leveraging artificial intelligence to simplify and streamline access to insights. But it is still necessary to build the alignment and culture needed to turn safety insights into proactive safety action. That is the hard work happening across our customer base every day, and RLDatix is proud to support our customers in their journey to raise the standard of care."
