Using patient-facing kiosks to support quality improvement at mental health clinics.
Article in Medical care, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 12 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it

Abstract
objectivesEvidence-based services improve outcomes in schizophrenia, but most patients at mental health clinics do not receive such services. This gap in care has been perpetuated by a lack of routinely collected data on patients' clinical status and the treatments they receive. However, routine data collection can be completed by patients themselves, especially when aided by health information technology. It is not known whether these data can be used to improve care quality.
methodsIn a controlled trial, 8 medical centers of the Veterans Health Administration were assigned to implementation or usual care. A total of 571 patients with schizophrenia were overweight and had not used evidence-based weight services. The implementation strategy included data from patient-facing kiosks, continuous data feedback, clinical champions, education, social marketing, and evidence-based quality improvement teams. Mixed methods evaluated the impact of the kiosks on utilization of and retention in weight services.
resultsCompared with usual care, implementation resulted in individuals being more likely to use weight services, availing services >5 weeks sooner, and continuing to use the services 3 times more. When compared with the year before implementation, patients at implementation sites saw a 3-fold increase in treatment visits. Usual care resulted in no change.
conclusionsMental health clinics have been slow to adopt health information technology. This study is among the first to implement and evaluate automated collection of data from patients at these clinics. Patient-facing kiosks are feasible in routine care and provide data that can be used to substantially improve the quality of care.
