Objective:

To analyze the relationship between the digital development levels of healthcare enterprises and specific aspects of patient safety culture.

Key Findings:
  • Digital health technologies improve communication, data accessibility, and coordination, potentially reducing medical errors, as evidenced by the study's data.
  • Effective use of digital technologies is influenced by healthcare professionals' attitudes and willingness to integrate these tools, highlighting the need for training.
  • Digital transformation aligns with objectives of improving service quality, efficiency, and patient safety, as shown in the findings.
Interpretation:

The study highlights the importance of a comprehensive understanding of digital hospital maturity and its multifaceted impact on patient safety culture.

Limitations:
  • Limited evidence on the overall level of digital hospital maturity as a comprehensive construct, which may affect generalizability.
  • Previous studies focused on specific digital tools rather than the broader digital transformation, limiting the context of findings.
Conclusion:

Understanding the relationship between digital transformation and patient safety culture is essential for enhancing healthcare quality and safety, suggesting areas for future research and practice improvements.
