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

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.
