US-based Synensis has partnered with Health Matrix in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to offer patient safety, quality improvement and patient-centred care services in the Middle East.

The partnership will provide a combination of software solutions, data management and consulting services, staffing, and patient safety training to healthcare organisations seeking to reduce preventable patient harm by building a culture of safety, said a statement.

It will provide Middle East clients with capacity-building services to manage growth, accelerate change, and optimise organisational performance, it said.

Stephen Powell, CEO and president of Synensis, said: “By combining the technology solutions provided by Health Matrix with the human-centric services of Synensis, our collective approach to performance improvement will enable current and future clients to develop and deliver safer, more patient-centric systems of care.

“The Middle East is one of the most rapidly growing healthcare markets in the world with ambitious goals of providing world-class outcomes.  To realise these ambitious goals, we believe a new approach is needed that focuses on developing safer systems, processes, and people – in essence high reliability organisations.”

Abdul Rahman Qasim, Health Matrix’s CEO, said: “Health Matrix is committed to meeting the needs of the Middle East Region through establishing a ‘Safer Organizations’ Platform for the health community. We aim to extend our healthcare IT services and bundle them with state of the art consultancy and training services to deliver better outcomes to our clients and community.

“We selected Synensis because of the company’s strong commitment to improve patient safety and the fact that Synensis enjoys a very successful, well established track record internationally.” - TradeArabia News Service
