- Summary:
- The objective of this evidence brief is to synthesize the literature on the effects of closing an existing small hospital on patient health outcomes. An evidence brief differs from a full systematic review in that the scope of work is more narrowly defined and the traditional review methods are streamlined in order to synthesize evidence within a shortened timeframe. The ESP Coordinating Center investigators and representatives of the Health Delivery Committee Workgroup worked together to identify the population, intervention, comparators, timing, setting and study design characteristics of interest.
