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

Background: Current payment models in the U.S. healthcare system are neither sustainable nor desirable. Expenses outpace revenue for most healthcare providers, while patients experience rising prices contrasted with inadequate health outcomes. Objective: There is not a single, small adjustment that can remedy these issues; systemic problems require systemic solutions. One such solution involves whole-person care, an approach that emphasizes using diverse healthcare resources to align care with a patient's values and goals as well as treat a patient's physical, behavioral, emotional, and social risk factors. Methods: In order to be most effective, whole-person care must be paired with a viable payment system that prioritizes positive outcomes and efficiency. The predominant fee-for-service payment system is not conducive to whole-person strategies. Results: This paper examines the role of capitated payments, risk adjustments, social and structural determinants of health, and expense trends in an interdependent approach to healthcare industry system reform. Conclusion: The Whole Health paradigm is optimized to improve both the financial performance of healthcare providers and the healthcare results of patients. Phased implementation is both feasible and sustainable.
