“…371 Two studies examined length of stay as an outcome, with differing results. The more powerful quasiexperimental study found that the training intervention had a positive effect on length of stay, 371 whereas the more limited prospective cohort design of Lawrence et al 379 found no such positive outcome. However, the interventions and populations of the two studies were different.…”

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of project...

“…Reasons for exclusion were as follows: article did not specifically address CAP (77 articles); article did not address indicators or only addressed outcome indicators for CAP (59); article addressed patients with HIV/AIDS (7); article had children as study subjects (6); and article was letter or case report (7). The remaining 21 articles [10, [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] were reviewed for indicators. From these studies, 4 additional potential indicators (i.e., indicators that had not already been derived from national guidelines) were added to the list.…”

“…Four independent investigators (J.S., M.H., and 2 guideline experts) preselected key recommendations from national guidelines [6,7]. Quality indicators that were published in international guidelines for CAP [2][3][4][5] or in the literature [10,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] were added to the list of potential indicators (table 1 and table A1 in the Appendix). For the latter purpose, a literature search was performed (table 2).…”
