Abstract:
Health policymakers in the United States and elsewhere are increasingly interested in making evidence-based policy decisions, but require assistance navigating the large volume of material in peer-reviewed and grey literature. This trend has led many organizations to identify methods for producing high-quality evidence reviews faster than traditional systematic reviews to accommodate policymakers' timeframes. After examining several existing rapid evidence review program models and the insights of experienced evidence reviewers, we find that there are methodological and organizational strategies that may help organizations produce rapid reviews that are high quality, timely, and relevant to policymakers' decisions.
