Bicentric evaluation of employee satisfaction, patient safety and treatment quality: comparing different Health Information System (HIS) solutions.
Article in BMC health services research, 2025. 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
backgroundTransforming healthcare related work processes through digitization may help to address the growing demands placed on employees by enhancing user satisfaction and may have an impact on patient safety and treatment quality. Hereby, different approaches reaching from multimodal, workflow-specific systems to more uniform and comprehensive formats have been introduced.
objectivesTo date, few comparative studies have examined different Health Information System (HIS) approaches from the perspective of healthcare workers. This study aims to evaluate perceived usability, quality, and compliance of two distinct clinical HIS types.
methodsIn this cross-sectional, bicentric study, we compared a multimodal HIS platform with a variation of different digital systems to a uniform, customized HIS solution that was specifically programmed for Otorhinolaryngology, across two university hospital departments in Germany. A total of n = 57 participants (physicians and nurses) completed a 61-item standardized questionnaire. Group differences were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test.
resultsHealthcare professionals using the multimodal HIS reported significantly lower overall satisfaction, perceived patient safety and treatment quality compared to those using the customized HIS. The latter system was also rated more positively regarding usability and workflow support. Currently, particularly in Germany, significant efforts are needed across all hierarchical levels to establish a cohesive and clear digital HIS with inter-professional, -institutional, -sectional abilities.
conclusionOur study highlights the perceived advantages of a more uniform and customized HIS from the user's perspective in healthcare, suggesting that these systems could enhance both staff satisfaction and the quality of care.
