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: Multidisciplinary rounds (MDRs), a model of care in which multiple members of the care team, representing different disciplines, come together to discuss the care of a patient in real-time. MDRs are a valuable tool for clinical teams to improve patient length of stay (LOS), reduce healthcare-associated infections, and increase care coordination. HCA Healthcare's data science and performance improvement teams created a data visualization tool called Next-gen Analytics for Treatment and Efficiency (NATE) Tempo to support care teams in managing rounds and barriers. Methods: A pilot implementation of MDRs using the NATE Tempo tool was initiated in 10 hospitals, accompanied by a survey for Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) of each of the participating hospitals. Results: Implementation of MDRs using the NATE Tempo tool was associated with an average reduction in LOS ratio from 135% to 114% across the 10 hospitals. CMO survey feedback identified areas of improvement related to MDR participation, and incorporation of NATE Tempo. CMO leadership within each facility and the use of the interactive dashboard facilitated the identification of high performers and areas of opportunity for improvement. Conclusion: CMO engagement can help physicians take steps to decrease variation in practice, leading to compliance with best practice guidelines and decreasing the overall LOS in hospitals. The MDR process can support these efforts. Empowering CMOs through the use of the NATE Tempo tool improved engagement. Through the tool, the CMO promotes coordination of patient care throughout the hospital experience and during the post-discharge phase.
