EHR "SWAT" teams: a physician engagement initiative to improve Electronic Health Record (EHR) experiences and mitigate possible causes of EHR-related burnout.
Article in JAMIA open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This case report describes an initiative implemented to improve physicians' experience with Electronic Health Records (EHRs), and is one of several strategies within our organization developed to reduce physician burnout attributed to the EHR. The EHR SWAT Team-a 10-member team-with interdisciplinary representation from clinical informatics, pharmacy informatics, health information management, clinical applications, and project management, is a direct feedback channel for all physicians to express their EHR challenges and have their requests reviewed, prioritized, and fixed in a timely manner. Through in-person divisional meetings, we gathered 118 requests, 36.4% of which were related to re-education and 17% of which were quick fixes. Popular requests included keyword search functionality, minimizing freezing, auto-faxing and auto-save. Our brief evaluation of 46 physicians demonstrated that physicians were satisfied with the initiative, with 61.3% physicians reporting that it increased their proficiency in using EHR functionalities. Lessons learned from this initiative include the importance of buy-in from Information Technology (IT) and physician leadership, extensive physician engagement, and leveraging project management techniques for coordination. Next steps include measuring the impact of this SWAT initiative on EHR-related burnout through a post-intervention organizational wide survey and objective back-end usage logs.
