Behavioral Phenotypes in Electronic Health Record Use by Primary Care Providers: a Cluster Analysis.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 use of electronic health record (EHR) systems varies among primary care providers (PCPs). However, little is known about how numerous different EHR use behaviors, such as time spent and collaboration in the EHR, cluster together. Prior efforts to quantify characteristics of PCPs using EHRs have generally focused on single behaviors.
objectiveTo identify patterns of EHR use among PCPs using a data-driven clustering approach.
designCross-sectional study analyzing EHR data from the 2021 calendar year.
participantsPrimary care providers practicing in a large Massachusetts healthcare system. APPROACH: PCPs were assigned to groups based on patterns of EHR use across 30 monthly variables from EHR data using a k-means clustering approach. We used Elbow, Silhouette, and Gap statistic methods to determine the number of clusters. Cluster characteristics were analyzed descriptively. KEY
resultsIn total, 163 PCPs were included; 103 (63%) PCPs were female, and 113 (69%) were White. Three distinct clusters of PCPs were identified, named based on the EHR characteristics that differed most across the clusters: (1) "High-engagement users": 38% of PCPs; (2) "Low-engagement users": 42%; and (3) "Moderate and selective users": 20%.
conclusionsThis study identified three distinct patterns of EHR use among PCPs, characterized by different levels of engagement with EHR functionality and time spent in the EHR. Further studies are needed to explore how EHR-based interventions could be tailored to different provider workflow styles.
