Abstract: In order for evidence syntheses to be most valuable to decision-makers it needs to be both timely and usable. Rapid Reviews are a set of methodologies that attempt to balance rigour with timeliness. Participants in this half-day, interactive workshop will be introduced to rapid review methodology, including how decision problems are used to inform research questions, literature search methods, the trade-off between sensitivity and volume, and abbreviated approaches for synthesizing the evidence. They will examine completed rapid reviews, critique the strengths and limitations, and evaluate examples for suitability and utility from the perspective of decision-makers. Participants will gain an understanding of the concept of rapid reviews; the need for, and utility of, rapid reviews as an HTA product; methodological approaches that differentiate rapid reviews from traditional systematic reviews; and practical issues that have emerged from experiences in the production of rapid reviews and ongoing initiatives to address some of these challenges.
