MHA Keystone Center PSO Launches SAFER Webinar Series

The MHA Keystone Center Patient Safety Organization (PSO), in partnership with EisnerAmper, is launching a new webinar series focused on the 2025 Safety Assurance Factors for Electronic Health Record Resilience (SAFER) guidelines. The free series will help healthcare professionals strengthen patient safety practices and implement artificial intelligence (AI) responsibly within clinical systems.

Participants must register in advance and will receive a Zoom link via email upon confirmation.

The three-part series includes the following sessions:

  • Navigating the Updated 2025 SAFER Assessment scheduled from 3 to 4 p.m. May 29. Dean Sittig, co-author of the SAFER Guides will highlight recent changes to the 2025 SAFER guidelines, including new recommendations for improving the safety and responsible use of AI in healthcare.
  • Deploying a Guided Risk and Safety Program to Protect Your Patients and Providers scheduled from 3 to 4 p.m. June 16. Presenters will outline how to leverage tools such as electronic health records and AI to mitigate risks in clinical workflows. The session will cover strategies for implementing effective governance structures, including control design, testing and continuous surveillance.
  • Adopting Safe AI scheduled from 1 to 2 p.m. July 24. This session will focus on managing the AI lifecycle in healthcare. Speakers will explore how to identify potential risks and opportunities, implement AI responsibly, and maintain oversight through governance and monitoring frameworks.

The series is designed to help participants understand the 2025 SAFER Assessment updates, identify and mitigate patient safety risks, and establish safeguards to support safe AI integration.

Series participants will gain an understanding of what the 2025 SAFER Assessment updates entail and how to run a program that identifies patient safety risk, mitigates controls and implements AI with the appropriate governance structure in place.

Arvid Kumar, managing director, EisenAmper, and Dean F. Sittig, PhD, co-author of the SAFER Guides Professor Emeritus at UTHealth School of Biomedical Informatics (SBMI), will facilitate this interactive event series.
