Leveraging Health Information Exchange (HIE) Data to Demonstrate the Impact on Health Outcomes of Community Based Organization Interventions: Case Studies of Housing Placement and Medically Tailored Meal Program.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. 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
ObjectiveTo evaluate the use of longitudinal Health Information Exchange data to assess changes in healthcare utilization and selected clinical outcomes associated with community-based organization interventions addressing housing instability and food insecurity.MethodsA retrospective pre-post study design was used to analyze two distinct community-based organization cohorts within a regional Health Information Exchange. The housing cohort included 228 individuals who received housing placement services, and the nutrition cohort included 786 individuals enrolled in a medically tailored meal program. Healthcare utilization and clinical outcomes were compared during the 365 days before and after program enrollment. Outcomes included inpatient admissions, emergency department visits, outpatient visits, length of stay, hemoglobin A1C, and body mass index. Paired t-tests were used to assess differences between pre- and post-enrollment periods.ResultsAmong housing program participants, emergency department visits decreased by 32% (p<0.05), while outpatient visits increased by 92% (p<0.001). Changes in inpatient admissions and length of stay were not statistically significant. Among nutrition program participants, inpatient admissions decreased by 20% (p<0.01), emergency department visits decreased by 18% (p<0.01), and length of stay decreased by 5% (p<0.01). Significant improvements were also observed in hemoglobin HbA1c (5% decrease, p<0.05) and body mass index (4% decrease, p<0.01).ConclusionsLongitudinal Health Information Exchange data can be used to evaluate healthcare utilization and clinical outcomes associated with community-based organization interventions. Findings suggest that housing and medically tailored meal programs are associated with improvements in healthcare utilization and selected clinical measures, while demonstrating the value of Health Information Exchanges as data repositories supporting whole-person care and program evaluation.
