COVID-19 vaccination and test management for healthcare workers-development, implementation and feasibility of a custom human resources information platform at a university hospital.

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
backgroundThe continuously evolving legislative and reporting requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic posed the demand for establishing an efficient real-time human resources management system at the LMU University Hospital, one of the largest university hospitals in Germany. Developing a system allowing for agile real-time analysis as well as for reporting employees' COVID-19 vaccination and testing status while ensuring the security of personnel data presented several technical and managerial challenges.
methodsWe designed and implemented a custom COVID-19 human resources information platform in order to fulfill the LMU University Hospital's legal requirement to report employees' vaccination and testing status. We designed the platform as an all-in-one solution for all relevant COVID-19 data, merged from five individual sources. The development process was guided by the principles of findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability (FAIR) with particular focus on interoperability. Here, we present the platform's design, cumulative user data and discuss the feasibility of the approach including its intended and unintended outcomes.
resultsThe COVID-19 human resources management platform was the first solution of its kind at the LMU University Hospital, emerging from the specific need for an efficient exterior and interior mandate fulfillment. It served both for operational management purposes as well as for strategic pandemic and hospital management. The immediate dependency on data privacy and regulatory adaptations due to the evolving pandemic situation posed the necessity for regular adaptations to the platform's structure.
conclusionsThe presented case reveals how data utilization requires the concurrent and proactive consideration of data security and interoperability against the background of a scalable architecture. Simultaneously, the development of such platforms needs to be open to new cases, functions and sources, thus requiring a dynamic and agile environment.
