The AHA Extends its Exclusive Endorsement of Incident Reporting & Management from RL Solutions

AHA Solutions, Inc. today announced that after conducting the rigorous AHA Signature Due Diligence ProcessTM, it has extended the exclusive AHA Endorsement of Incident Reporting and Management Solutions from RL Solutions. AHA Solutions, a subsidiary of the American Hospital Association (AHA), identifies products and services that help member hospitals and care organizations achieve operational excellence. Hospitals can feel confident when selecting a product or service that has received the AHA Endorsement that it has met the AHA's highest standards for quality, stability and customer service.

In today’s health care environment, an incident management system is critical to report and understand the adverse events that occur in order to improve patient safety. Capturing and managing incidents effectively enables hospital administrators to evaluate trends, assess high risk situations and develop action plans to mitigate future risk. RL6:Risk from RL Solutions is a comprehensive safety, quality and risk management solution that helps health care organizations become highly reliable. The flexible, easy-to-use software helps encourage event reporting—and ultimately reduce the severity of incidents and overall risk.

“As hospitals adopt value-based care, it’s critical for health care organizations to access data on events and near misses to improve patient care and maintain a strong reputation.” says Anthony J. Burke, President and CEO of AHA Solutions, Inc. “The continued endorsement of RL Solutions indicates AHA’s commitment for improved patient safety and the wellbeing of our nation’s hospitals to better serve their communities.”

“Since being awarded the AHA Endorsement in 2009, our applications have been widely adopted because of our unwavering commitment to our clients and the care of their patients. Our service to our clients now includes a multitude of initiatives, including remote system administration, assistance with PSO reporting and taxonomy changes, just to name a few.” shared Sanjay Malaviya, President and CEO at RL Solutions. “We are honored to hold this endorsement, and pledge our commitment to improving a hospital’s ability to reduce health risks and therefore improve quality care.
