An electronic notification system for improving patient flow in the emergency department.

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
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
Healthcare providers make time-sensitive care decisions based on EHR data. As systems of record, the EHR is often not configured to optimally surface timely information. For patients awaiting admission, infection control concerns that potentially require private rooms can prolong stays in the Emergency Department. We aim to determine if an event-based notification platform connected with a commercial EHR can help prioritize timely information and improve patient flow in the emergency department. We undertook a pre-post analysis for patients being admitted from the emergency room who were tested for influenza. We used a primary outcome of mean time from negative test result to inpatient transfer. The median time decreased by 27%, from 4.1 hours to 3.0 hours. The distribution of transfer times pre and post-intervention were significantly different with a p-value of <0.001. Our findings support the use of event-based notification systems to improve patient flow in the emergency department.
