IronHealth, the specialty healthcare unit of Bermuda-based insurer Ironshore, has entered into an agreement with RL Solutions to help clients manage hospital professional liability risk.

The relationship with RL Solutions will enable IronHealth hospital clients to take advantage of preferred access with one of the leading developers of customised solutions for managing healthcare risk.

IronHealth’s hospital professional liability programme provides for an annual allowance of funds available for the reimbursement of approved risk management expenses either with existing or IronHealth preferred vendors, such as RL Solutions. To date, IronHealth has established relationships with some of the industry’s leading healthcare risk management providers, including ASHRM, ECRI Institute and ELM Exchange.

RL Solutions provides customized programs to address risk management, patient safety, infection control and claims management.

Matt Dolan, president of IronHealth, said: “Our affiliation with RL Solutions is an ideal new resource at a time when hospitals are under increasing pressure to manage their risk exposures while controlling expenses.”
