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

backgroundFollowing the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' approval of the Acute Hospital Care at Home waiver, an increasing number of health care organizations launched Home Hospital (HH) programs in the USA. Ongoing barriers include access to HH expertise and a standard, comprehensive set of implementation tools. We created the HH Early Adopters Accelerator to bring together a network of health care organizations to develop tools ("knowledge products") necessary for HH implementation.

objectiveTo demonstrate the feasibility of the Accelerator approach for generating and implementing relevant, high-quality knowledge products.

designMixed methods evaluation of the Accelerator. Surveys and qualitative interviews of Accelerator participants were conducted. Surveys elicited feedback on the knowledge products, including time spent on development, perceived utility and quality, and implementation success. The qualitative interviews gathered more in-depth information on topics covered in the surveys.

participantsEighteen healthcare organizations and 105 individuals participated in the Accelerator. KEY

resultsThe Accelerator reached its goal and developed 20 knowledge products in 32 working weeks (more efficient than expected). Participants agreed that the knowledge products were useful (developers: 98.1%; stakeholders: 93.8%), of high quality (developers: 96.8%), and would improve patient care if implemented in their HH program (developers: 91.7%; stakeholders: 91.2%). Two thirds (66.7%) of the participating organizations who had implemented knowledge products at 3 months continued utilizing knowledge products in their HH program at 1 year. Agreement that knowledge products improve patient care persisted (92% strongly agreed or agreed) at 1 year. Several programs created new tools, policies, and workflows as a result of implementing the knowledge products.

conclusionsThe Accelerator created high-quality, comprehensive knowledge products that healthcare organizations found useful for safe HH implementation 1 year later. The Accelerator approach can feasibly help healthcare organizations safely bridge the gap between innovation and standard practice.
