Coming Every Year

Connected Healthcare Summit

An annual gathering of patient safety, quality, risk, compliance and experience leaders who are raising the standard of care together. 

A leading healthcare conference for safety, quality and risk leaders 

Every year, healthcare leaders from across North America come together at the RLDatix Connected Healthcare Summit to share real-world strategies and recommit to safer patient care. From quality officers and safety coordinators to compliance leaders and clinical innovators, Summit is where peer-to-peer learning activates real change.

Katie Basta Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital
There’s more energy at this conference than at most conferences that I’ve ever been to. Both RLDatix and the customers…these people are really, really invested in healthcare.
Ryan Solomon Arkansas Children’s
Being part of the RLDatix community…it’s a family. It is doing healthcare the right way and doing it together.

Once you start talking to other hospitals, everybody has the same problems. Getting to talk to other people that have the same problems but have solved it is amazing.
