History
Datix
Founded in 1986, Datix produced web-based incident reporting and risk management software for healthcare and adjacent industries.[1] Datix technology was adopted by organizations like the National Health Service (NHS)[2] and United States Department of Defense[3] to manage event reporting. The software suite has been used by hospitals, paramedics,[4] and social organizations to manage risk and monitor quality of care.
RL Solutions
Founded in 1997, RL Solutions was a healthcare software company that provided resources for managing risk, infection prevention, patient feedback, and overall healthcare quality and patient experience.
Merger

With clients in 19 countries globally, this partnership established RLDatix as one of the world’s largest software companies focused on healthcare safety and quality management.[6]
Today, RLDatix's European head office sits in London, with North American operations headquartered in Chicago. The company has additional locations in Frankfurt, Melbourne, Riyadh, Stockholm, and Toronto and additional partners in the Middle East, Australia, and New Zealand.
