TPSC is based in Alkmaar, The Netherlands and provides quality and risk management software focused on patient safety to more than 250 healthcare institutions worldwide, such as hospitals, mental health departments, and ambulatory care institutions. In addition to strong local customers such as Academic Medical Center Amsterdam and UMC Utrecht, the company sells its software through a growing international partner network in 19 countries with North America and Australia being its largest international markets.
The strategic combination strengthens symplr’s platform, adding TPSC’s complementary patient safety and incident management, quality improvement, and credentialing solutions. TPSC’s flexible, multi-tenant cloud platform enables healthcare providers to easily configure their implementation without any programming knowledge.
