The Safer Dx team is a multidisciplinary team focused on the improvement of patient safety and the reduction of diagnostic errors. The team approaches this goal through several methods, ranging from the development of trigger algorithms for Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to proactively monitoring for delays in test result follow-up to the creation of guidelines for safe EHR usage in the form of the SAFER Guides.
