Using Innovative Software to Address the Puzzle of Sustainable Workforce Stability.

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
aimThe aim of this study was to describe the 6-month outcomes of a pilot study testing a web-based decision-making tool for nurse managers (NMs) to use in determining RN hiring needs, and to evaluate the effect on workforce stability and NM satisfaction at a large academic hospital.
backgroundTo ensure that day-to-day staffing in inpatient units is adequate, NMs must be proactive in determining hiring needs. However, adequate tools to guide this skill are lacking, leading to administrative burden. Simultaneously, reducing the administrative burden of NMs is a priority to develop healthy work environments, foster staff development, and facilitate patient care.
methodsResearchers used a matched cohort comparison (24 clinical units; 1177.57 full-time equivalents) to evaluate the impact of HealthForce Rx , a Web-based workforce management tool, on workforce stability and NM satisfaction. Researchers measured workforce stability as the gap between functional RNs and budgeted RNs. Primary and secondary analyses were performed using mixed model analysis of variance.
resultsThe intervention group demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in the RN functional gap from baseline to 6 months post ( P = .003), in contrast to no significant change in control units. Nurse managers also reported significant improvements in the tools available to manage staffing and determine hiring needs ( P = .15), competencies ( P = .28), and RN turnover ( P = .007).
conclusionsThe use of this innovative software tool to proactively determine RN hiring needs may improve workforce stability and NM satisfaction.
