No patient outcomes or completed review results are reported.
This paper is a guide for occupational therapy networks to run rapid reviews.
What this paper is
This is a methodological guide, not a study of patients or interventions. It describes how a Canadian occupational therapy practice network proposes to conduct rapid reviews and gives recommendations, but it reports no completed review results, no outcomes, and no evidence that the approach changes practice. There is nothing here to act on with patients.

The easy way to misread this
Do not read this guide as evidence that rapid reviews improve occupational therapy practice or patient outcomes. It proposes steps and recommendations, but it reports no completed review results and no clinical outcomes.
