Abstract
This scoping review assesses the current knowledge on technology-related safety events in primary and community care settings, focusing on patient safety and harm. Utilizing Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework, a comprehensive literature search was conducted across various databases, yielding 17 relevant articles. The review highlighted predominant safety event issues, such as technology limitations, incorrect data, and software malfunctions, and identified essential risk mitigation strategies. Consultation with healthcare leaders reinforced these findings and revealed additional organizational challenges, emphasizing the need for continuous monitoring, reporting, and analyzing of HIT-related safety concerns. The findings suggest that while safety events in non-acute settings share similarities with those in acute care, they require specific attention and further research.
