ionisation energy

is the rydberg constant for a hydrogen atom the amount of energy needed to split the atom into H+/e-? if so, does that mean the rydberg constant is the ionisation energy?

It can be seen that way.

so I calculate a value for the rydberg constant from experimental data, if I convert the units to joules will this also be the ionisation energy?
