Using Quality Improvement and Implementation Science to Identify Strategies That Foster Electronic Patient-Reported Outcome Submissions.
Article in Journal for healthcare quality : official publication of the National Association for Healthcare Quality. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSix cancer centers conducted a pragmatic type-II hybrid effectiveness-implementation study of eSyM, an electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO)-based symptom management program. Centers collected key performance indicators and recorded implementation strategies. To inform efforts to deploy ePROs as part of routine care, we sought to identify strategies associated with periods of special cause variation in weekly ePRO submission rates.
methodsePRO utilization rates and implementation strategies were collected from August 2019 to April 2022. Statistical process control (SPC) methodology was used to identify periods of non-random variation, known as special cause variation, for all six centers. Investigators identified implementation strategies that were temporally associated with periods of special cause variation across centers.
resultsFor 714 weeks of ePRO reporting, the mean weekly response rate was 22.3% with wide variability by site. SPC charts detected multiple special cause variations at all sites. Direct patient outreach strategies to educate about and encourage use of ePROs were most associated with positive special cause variation.
conclusionsThese findings highlight the positive effect of direct patient outreach on ePRO responsiveness and identify opportunities for improving symptom management. Quality improvement techniques, such as SPC charting, could help facilitate implementation of complex interventions and tailor them to the needs of specific populations and health systems.
