What is RASMAS?
RASMAS is a simple-to-use, web-based subscription service that provides comprehensive notification, distribution, and management of product alerts and recalls for all healthcare and consumer products used in healthcare facilities.
RASMAS streamlines the way the healthcare supply-chain communicates and manages product alerts and recalls. Since 2004, leading healthcare providers have subscribed to RASMAS to increase patient safety, improve clinical effectiveness, and heighten operational efficiencies. RASMAS has reduced alert processing time by up to 80% in many of our member hospital and healthcare organizations.
Today, suppliers (manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and wholesalers) can join the RASMAS Community to automate product alert distribution and electronically participate in provider remediation activities, saving time, money, and potentially lives.
RASMAS prides itself on serving as the comprehensive clearinghouse of product alerts and recall notifications from both private and public sources and for distributing recall notifications in a timely manner to knowledgeable healthcare professionals for remediation. RASMAS also provides our members with comprehensive, industry-tested remediation workflow capabilities that help provider and supplier organizations manage the day-to-day activities associated with addressing product alerts and respond to regulatory inquiries and audits.
