Estimating the workload of a multi-disciplinary care team using patient-level encounter histories.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Healthcare spending in the United States is concentrated on a small percentage of individuals, with 5% of the population accounting for 50% of annual spending. Many patients among the top 5% of spenders have complex health and social needs. Care coordination interventions, often led by a multidisciplinary team consisting of nurses, community health workers and social workers, are one strategy for addressing the challenges facing such patients. Care teams strive to improve health outcomes by forging strong relationships with clients, visiting them on a regular basis, reconciling medications, arranging primary and speciality care visits, and addressing social needs such as housing instability, unemployment and insurance. In this paper, we propose a simulation algorithm that samples longitudinal patient-level encounter histories to estimate the staffing needs for a multidisciplinary care team. Our numerical results illustrate multiple uses of the algorithm for staffing under stationary and non-stationary patient enrollment rates.
