I am reviewing the evidence on the effects of introducing hospital-based
alternatives to admission for children requiring acute paediatric
assessment - such as short-stay or ambulatory assessment units and rapid-
access outpatient clinics.
I would be grateful to hear from anyone who is aware of completed
evaluations of this type of service, especially in the grey literature.
Thanks.
