CHICAGO, Oct. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- RLDatix, a leading provider of governance, risk and compliance (GRC) solutions that drive patient safety, quality improvement and harm reduction in healthcare, today demonstrated its continued commitment to risk management and patient safety by announcing its participation in numerous events at the American Society for Health Care Risk Management's (ASHRM) annual conference. ASHRM 2019 is being held Oct. 13 through 16 at the Baltimore Convention Center in Maryland.

This will be the first ASHRM conference RLDatix is attending since bringing together RL Solutions, Datix and RiskMan International, as well as sharing its new mission, vision and values, its integrated social media presence, highly successful HUB community and global website.

Quantros' patient safety division, which was acquired by RLDatix last week, will be consolidated with RLDatix at the event.

RLDatix will be showcasing its industry leading risk management and patient safety solutions, including how policy management software can help drive institutional learning and organization-wide sharing of best practices.
