1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThe implementation of electronic medical records (EMR) in the Department of Ophthalmology at the Saarland University Medical Center (UKS) in January 2016 was a timely response to growing documentation requirements and rapidly increasing electronic diagnostic data. The software system was primarily developed for private practices and cannot therefore meet the different requirements of various clinics out of the box. The purpose of this study was to identify features of the EMR beyond purely paper replacement that can assist in the clinical workflow and whether these features can be implemented in a running system.

methodsThe EMR was specifically individualized with respect to the work processes and documentation requirements of the Department of Ophthalmology at the UKS. In addition to a seamless integration into the hospital information system (HIS) the modifications included changes in the structure and visual presentation of the EMR as well as functional extensions. An internet-based platform was set up to enable a direct exchange of appointments and patient data with specialist practices.

resultsDue to the introduction of a so-called ghost list the position of patients within the hospital who are allocated to a physician, e.g. for diagnostics, can be reconstructed at any point in time. The logging of the individual treatment times enables tracking of patient flow within the clinic and a reduction of waiting times. Existing paper documents particularly for the graphic recording of findings, such as sketches, are digitalized eliminating the need to scan documents. The UKS.AUGEN.NETZ is an internet-based portal to facilitate direct organization of appointments with specialist practitioners and for the exchange of digital examination data and medical correspondence.

conclusionThe permanent close cooperation between employees of the Department of Ophthalmology at the UKS and the manufacturer of the software enables a continuous optimization of the EMR in a fully operational clinical workflow. In addition, the web-based interface improves the cooperation between the hospital and private practices.
