Humanistic Charting: Empowering Person-centered Emergency Care Through Reimagining the Electronic Health Record.

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: The rise in health care standardization has increased the focus on documentation, subsequently leading to the depersonalization of patient care. Humanistic Charting attempts to enhance person-centered care (PCC) by streamlining the integration of a patient's narrative into the electronic health record (EHR), while reducing a clinician's administrative workload. The Humanistic Charting Tool (HCT) transitions the collection and documentation of person-centric data to patients, empowering them to convey their values, preferences, and individuality. Methods: We carried out a pilot study in an academic emergency department (ED) at the University of California, San Francisco, between February and April 2023, involving 6 clinicians and 29 adult patients using the HCT. Clinicians reviewed HCT entries prior to patient encounters. The feasibility and impact of HCT were assessed using surveys and interviews pre- and postuse. The statistical significance of patient and clinician responses was assessed with 2-sided paired t tests. Results: The HCT was met with high patient satisfaction, with notable improvements in patient-rated care experience metrics post-HCT implementation, such as respect for patient preferences and clinician availability. The HCT received excellent Net Promoter Scores from both patients (52) and clinicians (83). Clinicians observed that the HCT promoted a humanistic care approach and helped alleviate burnout. Conclusions: In this pilot study, the HCT has demonstrated encouraging feasibility and promise in helping enhance PCC within the challenging ED environment. Clinicians have noted its advantages in providing deeper insights into patient histories and improving the quality of interactions, having the potential to aid in counteracting biases. This pilot study demonstrates the HCT's potential to help foster humanism and PCC in emergency settings and supports the potential for broader applicability in health care systems.
