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

purposePhysicians are estimated to be responsible for more than 50% of national healthcare costs and hold the greatest potential to improve value by orchestrating quality-driven programs to reduce unnecessary practices and variability. A physician's ability to practice cost-conscious care has been linked to their training, underscoring the importance of integrating cost-conscious practice into training.

methodsThe High Value Practice Academic Alliance was formed to help advance the value-improvement work of individual institutions through a national organization. We developed a curriculum and mentorship model for trainees throughout the country titled the Future Leaders Program (FLP). Upon entry to FLP, GME physicians completed a baseline self-assessment of their knowledge about costs, payment, and value in healthcare. Over 1 year, these physicians participated in structured educational activities related to high-value care (HVC), received mentorship focused on leading a value-based quality improvement (QI) project, and then completed a second self-assessment upon completion of the program.

resultsOver four academic years (AY17-18 through AY20-21), we had 161 respondents. Most participants report some prior education in healthcare value; however, many had never participated in a QI project. Participants showed variability in their knowledge. After completion of the program, paired sample t-tests demonstrated significant differences in the subscale scores for value knowledge (M =  - 0.63, SD = 0.93), attitudes (M =  - 0.46, SD = 0.45), and skills (M =  - 0.40, SD = 0.71) indicating that participating in a value-focused QI project improved value knowledge, t(160) =  - 9.66, p < .001; attitudes towards high-value care teaching, t(160) =  - 12.48, p < .001; and high-value care practice frequency, t(160) =  - 6.93, p < .001.

conclusionsSkills and knowledge are significantly improved after completion of our program, demonstrating that a free, web-based curriculum and tiered mentoring program can be effective in teaching HVC skills and preparing physicians to lead this work.
