Directly Integrating Health Information Exchange (HIE) Data with the Electronic Health Record Increases HIE Use by Emergency Department Clinicians.
Article in ACI open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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: This article (1) develops a Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources app, Health Dart, that integrates information from Indiana's community health information exchange (HIE), the Indiana Network for Patient Care (INPC), directly with Cerner, an electronic health record (EHR), and (2) evaluates the effect of Health Dart's implementation on HIE use. Methods: Health Dart was implemented in 14 Indiana University Health emergency departments (EDs) using a stepped-wedge study design. We analyzed rates of INPC use in 286,175 ED encounters between October 1, 2019 and December 31, 2020. Logistic regression was used to model the probability of INPC use given the implementation context, such as user interface (UI) enhancements and the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Results: INPC use increased by 131% across all encounters (from 3.6 to 8.3%; Conclusion: Direct integration of HIE information into an EHR substantially increased frequency of HIE use, but the effect was weakened by the UI enhancements and pandemic. HIE information integrated into EHRs in the form of problem-oriented dashboards can potentially make information retrieval more efficient and effective for clinicians.
