Applying the Balanced Scorecard to Build Service Performance Measurements of Medical Institutions: An AHP-DEMATEL Approach.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The main purpose of this study is to explore the application of the balanced scorecard (BSC) to service performance measurements of medical institutions using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and decision making and trial evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL). According to the concept of BSC, a total of four evaluation dimensions and twenty-two indicators of medical service performance measurements were developed. To collect data, this study delivered expert questionnaires to medical-related professional supervisors, deans, and heads of medical institutions in Taiwan. By combining the AHP and DEMATEL, the priority and causality of service performance standards in medical institutions were obtained. The results of this study show that the customer dimension is the most important service performance measurement dimension for medical institutions. The seven key service performance measurement indicators that are most important for medical institutions, in order, are "complete and comfortable equipment", "competitiveness of the medical profession", "continuity of patient-to-hospital treatment", "classification of medical profession according to customers (VIP system)", "complete medical service", "complete salary, remuneration, and policy", and "medical incomes of institutions". In terms of causality, provided the complete services of medical institutions are improved, the continuity of patient-to-hospital treatment, the competitiveness of the medical profession, and the medical incomes of institutions would be influenced.
