The software suite has been used by hospitals, paramedics,[4] and social organizations to manage risk and monitor quality of care.

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.^[citation needed]
