The partnership will focus on researching
patient safety incidents through AI data extraction tools to enable
safer healthcare.
CHICAGO, July 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- RLDatix, the leading global
provider of connected healthcare operations software and services,
announced its new partnership with Medstar Health, the largest
healthcare provider in the mid-Atlantic region, to utilize
sophisticated AI tools for data extraction to augment patient
safety event analysis. The partnership will accelerate
collaboration across healthcare organizations to address patient
safety concerns.
Data extraction tools, powered by MedStar Health's AI
algorithms, will be leveraged with the RLDatix risk management
solutions to accelerate research for safety and care delivery best
practices. RLDatix scientists will be able to help risk customers
facilitate data analysis from thousands of patient safety event
reports in seconds with a simple search.
"RLDatix believes that prioritizing patient safety requires
industry collaboration to proactively design safety into care
delivery processes, instead of designing processes around existing
systems with poor safety design," said Jeff Surges, RLDatix CEO.
"Through our partnership with MedStar Health, we will provide our
RLDatix learning communities with the information they need to
address the root causes of safety incidents and develop
improvements to make their care processes safer."
By leveraging AI, organizations will be able to extract data in
seconds, search specific incidents and find both high-level rates
and trends with increased specificity. This will reduce analytical
burden and provide organizations with more time, resources and
insights to uncover previously unforeseen risk factors affecting
patient safety.
"This technology breaks the mold of healthcare systems tackling
patient safety on their own," said Raj Ratwani, PhD, Vice President
of Scientific Affairs at MedStar Health. "Working with RLDatix
means organizations across the country can partner to help protect
patients."
RLDatix and MedStar Health's research agreement initiates a
collaborative opportunity for the healthcare industry to work
together and share best practices in designing safety into the care
delivery process.
