The partnership will advance Sana’s ongoing initiative for comprehensive digital transformation and support for its entire workforce.

FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sana Kliniken AG, a leading integrated healthcare provider in Germany with over 40 hospitals, 50 medical care centers and 38,000 employees, is partnering with RLDatix, the leading global provider of connected healthcare operations software and services, to implement RLDatix’s cloud-based workforce management solutions across the enterprise. This partnership marks a milestone in the journey to improve personnel management, employee satisfaction and ultimately patient care.

Sana is set to deploy Optima, RLDatix’s workforce management suite, which provides employees with an easy-to-use automatic rostering system, end-to-end absence management and advanced employee self-service functionality. These features will empower Sana employees to self-manage their schedules, seamlessly make ad-hoc redeployments and allow for short-term adjustments to the roster – significantly saving time and boosting employee satisfaction.

“This is an exciting step in our journey toward digital transformation,” said Stefanie Kemp, Board Member and Chief Transformation Officer at Sana. “Our employees will be able to design greater flexibility and participation into their schedules. Additionally, equipping leaders and staff with modern tools like Optima will enhance Sana’s appeal – for patients and employees.”

Integrating RLDatix’s workforce management solutions on the cloud will also enable Sana hospitals to integrate relevant data across the enterprise, empowering leaders to make informed decisions that will help transform the culture around risk management and safety.

“We have an incredible opportunity to tap into the power of connected healthcare operations in Germany alongside Sana,” said Jeff Surges, RLDatix CEO. “We look forward to supporting Sana in making better-informed decisions, better managing risk, and optimizing patient care.”

“Sana is a highly diverse group with numerous collective agreements and working time regulations, which will all be seamlessly integrated into a centralized system with Optima,” said Matthias Scholtz, General Manager of RLDatix Germany. “This integration will enable Sana to quickly implement new group-wide or local standards and best practices, streamline scheduling processes, reduce planning efforts and optimize resource allocation.”

Through its partnership with RLDatix, Sana is setting new standards in the German healthcare industry, underlining its claim to play a pioneering role in the sector.

The announcement follows RLDatix’s acquisition of Breitenbach, a Germany-based integrated solutions provider specializing in workforce management.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
