RLDatix has welcomed Blackrock Health as the latest organisation to adopt IPeople Offline Suite to support continuity of care, improve patient safety and strengthen operational resilience across its MEDITECH environment.
Building on the solutions’ success across North America, this first European deployment will help clinical and operational teams maintain access to near-real-time patient information during downtime events, reducing reliance on manual, paper-based processes.
Blackrock Health comprises three hospitals — Blackrock Clinic, Hermitage Clinic and Galway Clinic — alongside a diagnostic clinic in Limerick, employs 2,800 staff and treats more than 325,000 patients annually across its network.
Raphael Jaffrezic is Group Transformation Director and Chief Information Officer at Blackrock Health.
Jaffrezic said: “When downtime events occur, we want patients to trust that we can still provide the highest quality, digitally enabled care that our patients have come to expect across our network, and RLDatix empowers us to ensure that continuity of care with confidence.”
Following downtime, entering data collected from typical paper processes can take several hours.
IPeople drastically reduces this timeframe, helping organisations save time and resume operations much faster once systems are restored.
Ryan Dickerson is President, RLDatix IPeople.
He said: “We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Blackrock Health.
“As healthcare systems increasingly rely on digital records, the need for robust continuity solutions has never been more critical.
“By integrating IPeople’s downtime solutions, Blackrock Health is proactively safeguarding its clinical workflows.
“We look forward to supporting their team in maintaining the highest standards of operational excellence across their facilities in Ireland.”
