Competencies Needed for Behavioral Health Professionals to Integrate Digital Health Technologies into Clinical Care: a Rapid Review.
Review in Journal of technology in behavioral science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
This rapid review examines literature on training and competencies for behavioral health professionals to integrate digital health technologies into clinical practice. While the evidence for digital health is growing, research evidence supports its use in behavioral healthcare. Despite this, behavioral health professionals have been slow to integrate technologies into care for various reasons. The aim of this review is to inform behavioral health professionals on competencies needed to support the adoption of digital health technologies. PubMed and Google Scholar were searched for articles from 2010 through 2020. Search terms associated with digital health technologies, behavioral health professionals, and competencies, skills, training, and best practices yielded 1972 articles. Twenty-three articles met inclusion criteria indicating foundational core competencies and data was extracted and organized based on profession and technology platform in order to detect similarities and differences. The findings were used to generate an interdisciplinary approach for the clinical integration of digital health. Recommendations are presented for foundational digital health competencies applicable across behavioral health disciplines, rather than technology- or discipline-specific training. The universal digital health inter-professional competencies identified include: (a) privacy, security, and patient safety; (b) digital health technical skills; (c) ethical and legal considerations; (d) clinical skills; (e) art of therapy and digital health; and (f) administrative tasks. Research is needed to understand if the development of professional digital health competencies helps to improve patients' behavioral health.
