The impact financial resources on implementation of large-scale electronic health records in the Saudi Arabia's primary healthcare centers: Mixed methods.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2022. 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
Introduction: There is worldwide demand for the implementation of electronic health systems and a transformation to electronic transactions in healthcare organizations. This move to e-health transformation stems from the perceived positive impact that e-health systems have in improving the quality of healthcare and, in turn, reducing expenses. Despite this, more than half of previous Electronic Health Record System (EHRS) implementation projects have failed due to several barriers and challenges such as cost. Aim of the study: To evaluate the impact of financial resources (FR) on the implementation of the EHRS in PHCs in SA. Methods: A mixed methods approach was implemented. SPSS and AMOS-SEM are used to test reliability and validity and hypotheses. Thirty-one (59%) out of 51 policy makers at the MoH filled and returned the questionnaire while 13 policymakers were interviewed using semi-structure interviews. Results: Results revealed that both measurement model and structural models met the threshold. All scales are found reliable and valid. Furthermore financial resources have positive impact on EHRS implementation. Findings from both studies show that financial resources have a very positive impact to facilitate large-scale EHRs implementation and overcome barriers that may lead to the failure of the project.
