A Rapid Process for Identifying and Prioritizing Technology-Based Tools for Health System Implementation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Health system decisions to put new technologies into clinical practice require a rapid and trustworthy decision-making process informed by best evidence.

Objective

This study aimed to present a rapid evidence review process that can be used to inform health system leaders and clinicians seeking to implement new technology tools to improve patient-clinician decision making and patient-oriented outcomes.

Methods

The rapid evidence review process we pioneered involved 5 sequential subprocesses: (1) environmental scan, (2) expert panel recruitment, (3) host evidence review panel, (4) analysis, and (5) local validation panel. We conducted an environmental scan of health information technology (IT) literature to identify relevant digital tools in oncology care. W
