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

backgroundProvider and team burnout in health care has increased.

objectiveWe sought to evaluate the integration of clinical pharmacist practitioners on drivers of burnout among team members and providers.

designThis cross-sectional electronic survey was conducted over a 6-month period.

settingThis research was conducted in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). The VHA is the largest integrated health care system in the USA.

participantsThe team members surveyed included physicians, advanced practice registered nurses (RN), registered nurses, physician assistants, psychologists, social workers, and clinical dieticians. A category entitled "Other" was also available for selection to encompass other roles to include licensed practical nurses, medical support assistants (e.g., schedulers) and to ensure that all team members would have the opportunity to contribute if they chose to respond.

resultsA total of 3349 team members responded to the National survey. Providers (e.g., MD, advanced practice nurses, and physician assistants) accounted for 40.7% (n = 1364) of respondents. Provider respondents were distributed among 818 (24.4%) physicians, 446 (13.3%) advanced practice nurses, 91 (2.7%) physician assistants, and 9 (0.3%) residents and fellows. Nursing accounted for 35.0% (n = 1173) of respondents. Respondents primarily used their clinical pharmacist practitioner to provide comprehensive medication management. For the 10 survey questions, team members agreed or strongly agreed (88.9%) that the clinical pharmacist practitioner provided a positive effect in four key driver areas of burnout. This was consistently seen regardless of respondent or practice area.

conclusionThis survey is one of the largest and most extensive teams and provider evaluations of the integration of clinical pharmacists into team-based care conducted. Results revealed clinical pharmacists do impact the four drivers of burnout studied and validate past research. Results of this study can be used as one method to further address the alarming trend of provider and team burnout.
