Data collection was conducted using a standardized questionnaire with a Cronbach's alpha value of 0.88 and a Likert scale of 1–5. The data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, Pearson's correlation test, and simple/multiple linear regression to see the strength of the relationship and the contribution of independent variables to the dependent variable. Results: Base on result the implementation of digital weighing, the higher the safety and continuity of patient care. The r value is in the strong relationship category, indicating that the variables in this study have a strong relationship. Conclusion: The implementation of a digital-based handover system is not only a technological innovation, but also a strategic intervention in efforts to improve patient safety and continuity of service.
