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.
