The Family Medicine Learning and Experience (FLEX) Lab: A Collaborative Approach to Advancing Clinical Care and Operations.

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
introductionThe population in need of primary care is rapidly growing and increasingly complex with respect to chronic disease burden. We must develop alternative and more efficient approaches to managing patients if we are to increase access to care without sacrificing continuity; however, there is little guidance for innovation strategies at the practice level.
methodsThe Mayo Clinic Department of Family Medicine engaged in a 2-year multistage planning process to develop plans for the Family Medicine Learning and Experience (FLEX) Lab to identify opportunities for innovation to improve daily practice. The purpose of the FLEX Lab is to drive continuous advancements within the context of our health system with the goal of delivering high-quality care to a greater number of patients while working within the constraints of limited staffing.
resultsKey lessons from the planning stage led to the development of a contextualized, incremental, and continuous approach to design and innovation. In its first phase, the FLEX Lab implemented a set of interventions that were novel to the unit itself, including nurse-led hypertension management, task-shifting rooming responsibilities, incorporating telehealth visits into routine clinician schedules, and ambient documentation to replace clinician-generated visit notes. We present a description of the overall FLEX Lab approach including early-stage findings and future work.
conclusionsThe FLEX Lab is an adaptable and generalizable example of how health systems can strategically implement practice improvements informed by real-time input from clinicians and staff to support continuous and phased evolution.
