Recognized for creating a groundbreaking recall system that has enhanced patient safety across the U.S. healthcare system.
Dr. Mark N. Cohen was honored for founding the National Recall Alert Center (NRAC), a system that has safeguarded patient safety for over 50 years by streamlining the communication of medical product recalls. Motivated by a personal tragedy, Dr. Cohen created the NRAC to connect manufacturers with hospitals, ensuring recalled products are quickly identified and removed from use. The system, now trusted by 80% of U.S. hospitals, integrates artificial intelligence to manage recalls efficiently, preventing harm to hundreds of thousands of patients daily.
