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

contextAs an essential core competency for high-quality healthcare, health information technology (HIT) leverages the use of technology, such as electronic record systems, to collect and use patient care information to make informed clinical decisions. There is a dearth of information regarding professional athletic training students' (ATSs') use of HIT professional behaviors during clinical experiences.

objectiveTo assess HIT professional behaviors ATSs engage with during clinical experience patient encounters (PEs).

designMultisite panel design.

setting12 professional athletic training programs.

participants363 ATSs enrolled across the participating professional athletic training programs entered patient encounter information within E*Value during their scheduled clinical experiences. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Characteristics of PEs (length of encounter, student role, clinical site type) were tracked in E*Value by students over three semesters. We used generalized estimating equation models to analyze the likelihood that students included HIT professional behaviors during 30,518 PEs.

resultsClinical site type (p=0.04), length of encounter (p<0.001), and student role (p<0.001) had the greatest influence on students' documentation of PEs in electronic records systems; PEs occurring at the college/university setting, longer PEs, and full student autonomy increased the likely of this professional behavior. Length of encounter (p<0.001) and clinical site type (p<0.001) influenced students' use of information documented in electronic records systems to assist with clinical decision-making; PEs longer than 60 minutes and PEs in the clinic setting increased this professional behavior likelihood.

conclusionsSince HIT is integral to providing high-quality patient care, and its use is developed and improved upon across the continuum of the professional career, program administrators and preceptors must seek out opportunities for students to engage in HIT behaviors during clinical experiences. Secondary school clinical sites, sites that typically have shorter patient encounters, and preceptors that offer less autonomy are most in need of intentional efforts toward HIT inclusion.
