CLEVELAND — University Hospitals has been recognized by RLDatix with the Innovation in Regulatory & Compliance Award at the 2026 Connected Healthcare Summit . The award honors healthcare organizations that demonstrate excellence in compliance readiness, documentation quality, and proactive policy alignment driving safer care.
University Hospitals earned this recognition for transforming how regulatory information is managed, accessed and applied across the organization. By connecting policies, regulatory standards, audit data, and clinical content into a single, integrated system, the organization has made it easier for teams to find the information they need and act with confidence.
Together, these efforts have helped turn regulatory alignment into a more efficient, intuitive process — supporting safer, more consistent care delivery across the system.
“I am immensely proud of the quality team at University Hospitals for the way they have unified and strengthened our policy management and compliance systems throughout the health system,” said Peter Pronovost, MD, PhD, FCCM, Chief Quality & Clinical Transformation Officer and Veale Distinguished Chair in Leadership and Clinical Transformation. “This recognition is a testament to our shared commitment to collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement—and to our belief that elevating compliance is essential to advancing safety, care quality, and better outcomes for every patient we serve.”
“Each year at Connected Healthcare Summit, we celebrate organizations that are raising the standard of care,” said August Calhoun, president of RLDatix North America. “We’re proud to partner with University Hospitals and recognize their leadership’s commitment to strengthening regulatory readiness and delivering exceptional, safe and high-quality care.”
This award was presented on April 2 at the 2026 Connected Healthcare Summit in Nashville. Hosted by RLDatix, the event brings together bold thinkers, passionate doers and product experts for fresh insights, hands-on training, inspiring customer stories and big conversations on driving better care across the healthcare ecosystem.
