Implementation of an EHR-integrated web-based depression assessment in primary care: PORTAL-Depression.
Article in JAMIA open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objectives: To integrate a computerized adaptive test for depression into the electronic health record (EHR) and establish systems for administering assessments in-clinic and via a patient portal to improve depression care. Materials and Methods: This article reports the adoption, implementation, and maintenance of a health information technology (IT) quality improvement (QI) project, Patient Outcomes Reporting for Timely Assessment of Life with Depression (PORTAL-Depression). The project was conducted in a hospital-based primary care clinic that serves a medically underserved metropolitan community. A 30-month (July 2017-March 2021) QI project was designed to create an EHR-embedded system to administer adaptive depression assessments in-clinic and via a patient portal. A multi-disciplinary team integrated 5 major health IT innovations into the EHR: (1) use of a computerized adaptive test for depression assessment, (2) 2-way secure communication between cloud-based software and the EHR, (3) improved accessibility of depression assessment results, (4) enhanced awareness and documentation of positive depression results, and (5) sending assessments via the portal. Throughout the 30-month observational period, we collected administrative, survey, and outcome data. Results: Attending and resident physicians who participated in the project were trained in depression assessment workflows through presentations at clinic meetings, self-guided online materials, and individual support. Developing stakeholder relationships, using an evaluative and iterative process, and ongoing training were key implementation strategies. Conclusions: The PORTAL-Depression project was a complex and labor-intensive intervention. Despite quick adoption by the clinic, only certain aspects of the intervention were sustained in the long term due to financial and personnel constraints.
