RLDatix Announces World Patient Safety Day Initiatives Focusing on Health Worker SafetyCHICAGO, Sept. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- RLDatix, the leading global provider of intelligent patient safety solutions, today announced several initiatives that align with the World Health Organization's (WHO's) World Patient Safety Day. RLDatix's campaign, "The Person Behind the Mask," highlights frontline health workers?and the administrators who support them?in the critical and often unsung roles they play in delivering safe care. The campaign is focused on increasing awareness for WHO's call to speak up for health worker safety and features health workers from around the world talking about their experiences and the links between health worker safety and patient safety. "Our customers are doing amazing things every day to help keep patients safe, even if it means risking their own health to deliver care to those who need it," said Jeff Surges, CEO of RLDatix. "A vital component of our recently announced Applied Safety Intelligence™ framework is ensuring the wellbeing of caregivers, something that is even more critical given the impact of COVID-19. With this awareness campaign, we're honoring the commitment of health workers around the world and speaking up for their safety." World Patient Safety Day was established by the World Health Assembly in May 2019 and received an endorsement for the day to be marked annually on Sept. 17. According to WHO's website: "The overall objectives of World Patient Safety Day are to enhance global understanding of patient safety, increase public engagement in the safety of health care and promote global actions to enhance patient safety and reduce patient harm." Following are a few of the additional industry and corporate awareness campaigns RLDatix has participated in or is undertaking to support World Patient Safety Day:
"We know that health worker safety is inextricably linked to patient safety," continued Surges. "The current pandemic has impacted everyone around the world, and at the front lines have been health workers prepared to care for those who need it. We want to use our campaign to thank them, reinforce the need to keep them well, and acknowledge the important work they do in delivering safe care."
