Improvement the Healthcare Quality of Emergency Department after the Cloud-Based System of Medical Information-Exchange Implementation.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
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 National Health Insurance has been implemented in Taiwan since 1995. The government established a medical information-exchange system to reduce duplicate medications and examinations, which have inhibited healthcare expenditures. The potential benefit of medical information exchange about healthcare quality in emergency departments (ED) was worthy of evaluating; Methods: The inquiry rate of cloud data for patients' information in Taiwanese National Health Insurance Administration was defined as a factor, and the healthcare quality included the ratio of staying more than 48 h in the ED and the hospitalization rate within 8 h from ED by triage levels of 1, 2, and 3 in different levels of hospitals from 2013 to 2019. Poisson regression analysis was used to quantify time trends of the query rate of the MediCloud system, the rate of staying more than 48 h in ED, admission rate within 8 h in ED, and the effect of healthcare quality in ED after MediCloud system implementation; Results: The health information exchange decreased the rate of staying over 48 h in the ED of medical centers. It also improved the early hospitalization of urgent ED patients in regional hospitals; Conclusions: Through medical information exchange to understand patients' current conditions, we can reduce crowding in the ED of medical centers and facilitate rapid hospitalization of urgent patients in regional hospitals. According to these findings, the government should establish medical information exchange to improve the healthcare quality of ED.
