​​Welcome message from Executive Director ASHRM


On behalf of the American Society for Health Care Risk Management (ASHRM), a professional membership group of the American Hospital Association (AHA), I am delighted to welcome you to the 2025 QSHRM Annual Conference. We deeply appreciate Hamad Medical Corporation for their collaboration and confidence in our ability to deliver valuable educational experiences.

Health care continues to transform at an extraordinary pace, shaped by technological innovation, shifting demographics, and a growing commitment to accessible, equitable care for all. Among the most notable developments is the increasing integration of tools like artificial intelligence and telemedicine. As these technologies advance, risk professionals must remain informed and adaptable to effectively support their organizations.

In this era of rapid change, the expertise of risk professionals is essential to building strong, sustainable organizations. With nearly 6,000 members spanning risk management, patient safety, insurance, law, finance, and related fields, ASHRM champions innovative strategies and leadership through education, advocacy, publications, networking, and collaboration with leading health care organizations.

Our initiatives focus on advancing safe, effective patient care, safeguarding financial resources, and promoting secure work environments. We are honored to join this forum to share insights and learn from your experiences. Over the coming days, we aim to provide thought-provoking sessions that you can take back to your organizations to enhance patient safety, strengthen operations, and deliver lasting value.

Thank you for welcoming us to your event and for trusting us to be your partner.
