RLDatix Partners with Patients for Patient Safety US to Reduce Preventable Harm

On World Patient Safety Day, RLDatix pledges to support Patients for Patient Safety US in its efforts to reduce preventable harm across healthcare organizations nationwide. 

CHICAGO, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- RLDatix, the leading global provider of healthcare operations software and services, announced a formal partnership with Patients for Patient Safety US (PFPS US), a branch of the World Health Organization's international PFPS program. Together, RLDatix and PFPS US will collaborate on strategic initiatives aimed at reducing preventable harm by enhancing patient engagement, transparency and accountability across hospitals and health systems.

"Uniting people and organizations across the healthcare industry behind a common cause is vital to achieving our goal of safer, more empathic care," said Tim McDonald, Chief Patient Safety & Risk Officer at RLDatix. "We're honored to support Patients for Patient Safety US in their proactive efforts to raise awareness around patient safety and drive progress toward zero harm."

Cross-sector collaboration has consistently proven effective in driving meaningful policy changes, from hospitals to the federal level. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently issued its final rule on the Patient Safety Structural Measure, mandating systemic changes to improve patient safety in healthcare organizations. This legislation is the result of extensive research, lobbying and awareness efforts by leading industry groups, including PFPS US.

"We've closely followed RLDatix's advocacy for patient safety, both nationally and globally," said Martin Hatlie, co-founder of PFPS US. "We're thrilled about this collaboration and the opportunity to make further strides toward eliminating preventable harm."

RLDatix is proud to support PFPS US' World Patient Safety Day 2024 programming, taking place in Washington, D.C. from September 15-17.
