Staff pooling in healthcare systems - results from a mixed-methods study.
Article in Health systems (Basingstoke, England), 2024. 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
This study examines how staff pooling can be used to create a higher service level at a predetermined total capacity in the healthcare sector. We develop new empirical knowledge through a systematic empirical study, using a mixed-methods approach, with a preliminary interview study followed by a principal quantitative survey study, with data from a multihospital system. The purpose was to explore practical barriers for a staff pooling strategy in healthcare systems. Three barriers were identified:recruitment difficulties, community view, and specialisation. Significant differences in perceived height among these barriers were found. The results from this study have important managerial implications for healthcare systems when implementing a staff pooling approach. This study contributes to the existing literature since, to the best of our knowledge, no previous research has been done where barriers to staff pools are systematically identified using a holistic approach that includes all healthcare professions in a multihospital system.
