Abstract:
Due to shifting priorities and unforeseen challenges, nurse leaders often lack sufficient time and resources to systematically review and appraise the available literature in search of the best evidence to guide decisions. A nurse-led rapid review service can produce accelerated knowledge synthesis and contextualized translation of evidence in a resource-efficient manner. This article describes a nurse-led rapid review service implemented at a large academic medical center and provides a reproducible process to guide other healthcare organizations in developing similar programs.
