Emerging technology adoption was low (WMS=2.94 < 3.00).
Moderate levels of safety outcomes (WMS=3.00), compliance (WMS=3.21), and participation (WMS=3.26 > 3.00) were observed.
Positive and significant impact on safety outcomes (B=1.198, p-value<0.0001) while compliance (B=0.064, p-value<0.073) and participation (B=0.068, p-value<0.651) were positive but insignificant.
