Investigating digital determinants shaping pharmacists' preparedness for interoperability and health informatics practice evolution: a systematic review.
Synthesis in International journal of clinical pharmacy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundFragmented healthcare systems hinder pharmacists' access to comprehensive patient data, limiting their clinical role and posing health risks. Enhancing system interoperability and evaluating factors influencing pharmacists' readiness for technology-driven practice change is a crucial step.
aimThis systematic review aimed to investigate the digital determinants of pharmacists' readiness for technology-oriented practice change and interoperability.
methodA systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library was conducted on August 7, 2023, with registration number INPLASY202380071. Search method was developed, and quality was assessed using the Boynton and Greenhalgh Quality Checklist (BGQC) and Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP).
resultsThe review included 13 studies, of which 7 (53.8%) included the study's setting. Of the seven studies, most discussed the community pharmacy setting (n = 3, 23.1%), followed by hospital pharmacy (n = 1, 7.6%), and both settings (n = 3, 23.1%). The studies included several countries: the United Kingdom (UK), Canada, the United States of America (USA), Australia, India, Sweden, and Saudi Arabia. The studies discussed several medical health informatic technologies such as electronic health records and e-prescribing. The three most reported technology-related influencing factors were related to digital literacy and technology-oriented tailored training (n = 9, 69.2%), followed by technical system features (n = 6, 46.2%) and technology operations (n = 5, 38.5%). The overall readiness level for technology-related practice change was intermediate (n = 7, 53.8%), high (n = 3, 23.1%), and low (n = 3, 23.1%).
conclusionDigital literacy, tailored training, and system features are crucial for enhancing pharmacists' readiness for technology adoption, highlighting the need for improved digital infrastructure and interoperability in clinical practice.
