Bridging Global Frameworks and Local Practice: Quantitative Evaluation of Electronic Health Record Safety in Kuwait’s Public Hospitals

The study highlights variability in EHR safety practice implementation across Kuwait's public hospitals, with stronger performance in technical domains and gaps in clinical processes. By applying the Safety Assurance Factors for EHR Resilience guides in a non-US context, the study offers a foundational understanding of EHR safety implementation in Kuwait's public health care system. Given the study's limited scope and reliance on self-reported data, findings should be interpreted with caution. Future research should adopt broader sampling and mixed methods approaches to validate these results and inform the development of context-specific strategies to enhance EHR safety and patient outcomes.
