Health Information Technology Adoption at U.S. Home Health Care Agencies: Results from a Multi-Methods Study.
Article in Home health care management & practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Health information technology (HIT) holds potential to transform Home Health Care (HHC), yet, little is known about its adoption in this setting. In the context of infection prevention and control, we aimed to: (1) describe challenges associated with the adoption of HIT, for example, electronic health records (EHR) and telehealth and (2) examine HHC agency characteristics associated with HIT adoption. We conducted in-depth interviews with 41 staff from 13 U.S. HHC agencies (May-October 2018), then surveyed a stratified random sample of 1506 agencies (November 2018-December 2019), of which 35.6% participated (N = 536 HHC agencies). We applied analytic weights, generating nationally-representative estimates, and computed descriptive statistics, bivariate and multivariable analyses. Four themes were identified: (1) Reflections on providing HHC without EHR; (2) Benefits of EHR; (3) Benefits of other HIT; (4) Challenges with HIT and EHR. Overall, 10% of the agencies did not have an EHR; an additional 2% were in the process of acquiring one. Sixteen percent offered telehealth, and another 4% were in the process of acquiring telehealth services. In multivariable analysis, EHR use varied significantly by geographic location and ownership, and telehealth use varied by geographic location, ownership, and size. Although HIT use has increased, our results indicate that many HHC agencies still lack the HIT needed to implement technological solutions to improve workflow and quality of care. Future research should examine the impact of HIT on patient outcomes and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on HIT use in HHC.
