Bridging Theory and Practice: a qualitative study on electronic charting and health systems science in Korean medicine education in alignment with KAS2022.
Article in Journal of pharmacopuncture, 2026. 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
Objectives: The digital transition in healthcare has underscored the importance of charting competence. However, medical record education remains fragmented and insufficient. With the introduction of competency-based assessments in KAS2022, there is an urgent need for structured training that integrates paper and electronic charts in Korean medicine education. Methods: This qualitative study conducted focus group interviews with 19 students from a Korean medicine university. Participants were tasked with documenting standardized cases using both a paper chart and an electronic chart (Doodol-Chart). They then engaged in group interviews according to academic year to explore their experiences, challenges, and perceptions. Results: Students primarily learned charting through informal channels, leading to difficulties in structured history-taking and the use of professional terminology. Paper charts were valued for their flexibility but hindered systematic record management. Conversely, electronic charts facilitated faster data entry and organized storage but limited free-text flexibility. Students emphasized the need for early foundational training, a standardized curriculum, and clinically integrated practice. Electronic chart education was also noted to reinforce Health Systems Science (HSS). Despite the benefits of electronic charting, our focus group interviews revealed challenges related to informal training and restricted flexibility, underscoring the complementary insights of qualitative inquiry. Conclusion: Structured charting education is essential in Korean medicine. Integrating electronic charting within the HSS framework underscores the need for comprehensive strategies that enhance clinical reasoning and collaboration. Specifically, developing electronic medical record-integrated assessment tools is crucial for bridging the gap between theory and practice, ensuring the professional identity and sustainability of future Korean medicine practitioners.
