The article, "Rapid evidence assessment: increasing the transparency of an emerging methodology" by Varker, Forbes, Dell, Weston, Merlin, Hodson, and O’Donnell (2015), addresses the critical demand for timely and rigorous literature reviews within evidence-based practice. It focuses on Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA), also known as rapid review, as a methodology that fulfills the need of policy makers, healthcare professionals, and consumers for prompt information on efficacious health care and treatments.

The authors identify a significant challenge in the field: the lack of transparency and limited critical appraisal often associated with current REA practices. To counteract this, the paper proposes a detailed, explicit, and reproducible methodology for conducting REAs that aligns with the principles of systematic review but is adapted for rapid information delivery. This approach encompasses an eight-step, three-phased process, starting with the development of an explicit research question in consultation with end-users and the creation of a thorough and reproducible search strategy.
