Beyond Traditional and Nontraditional Roles: Reframing Health Information Practice Through the Health Information Continuum.
Article in Advances in health information science and practice, 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
Background: The health information (HI) profession has expanded beyond hospital-centered roles, yet it continues to rely on the labels "traditional" and "nontraditional," which no longer reflect workforce realities. Methods: In this study, the authors used an evidence-informed, mixed-methods synthesis incorporating federal workforce data, professional literature, and original survey data from HI practitioners and educators. Results: The findings demonstrate that HI roles are increasingly cross-sector, technology-enabled, and functionally interconnected, with substantial workforce activity occurring outside hospital settings and beyond federally classified roles. Conclusions: In this article, the authors introduce the Health Information Continuum as a conceptual framework that reframes HI work around shared competencies and the health data life cycle, offering a more accurate and inclusive model for workforce description, education, and professional identity.
