Description
The primary aim of this project is to strengthen emergency preparedness and response capabilities for
epidemics and pandemics at a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia by implementing evidence-based
protocols, targeted staff training, enhanced surveillance systems, and optimised patient flow strategies.
Objectives
1. Upgrade surveillance and triage systems to enhance detection and response times for infectious
diseases.
2. Develop and implement a patient flow and cohorting strategy to reduce congestion during
epidemic or pandemic surges.
3. Provide targeted training on triage, infection control, and surge capacity management for
emergency staff.
4. Develop an adaptable, evidence-based emergency response protocol with a multidisciplinary
approach, aligned with international and national guidelines by June 2024.
5. Conduct a mock drill to evaluate the effectiveness of pandemic and epidemic preparedness
responses and identify areas for improvement.
Requested: Systematised Literature Review (not systematic) 3000 Words
This chapter should be a Systematised review (Grant & Booth, 2009) that draws extensively on the
literature relevant to your selected topic area. A short description of your search strategy, indicating the
process by which you found and selected the relevant publications, should be included. A PRISMA
diagram can be used to visualise this process.
It should detail the parameters set for your review, such as search terms and search strings, databases
used, date parameters, types of literature and inclusion / exclusion criteria. You should also state the
number of articles or literature you have included in the review and the process by which this occurred.
The review should provide a synthesised critique of the literature on the project topic area. Additionally,
it should outline the implications of this literature for the project and provide evidence to support the
rationale for change. The Literature Review should conclude with a brief overall summary of the findings
and implications for the project. The chapter should not be a summary of the actual change or the
change literature.

Requirements:
Systematised Literature Review (not systematic)
Instructions:
–
Systematised literature review: most commonly by students and provides initial assessment of a
topic that is potentially appropriate for a systematic review.
–
Does not meet the rigorous criteria of a systematic review but seeks to include the key aspects:
o
o
o
o
o
Methodology
Detailed search
Critical appraisal
Synthesis of available research
Does not restrict to research papers like the systematic review
However, Due to their only being one reviewer it cannot be considered a full systematic review.
A good approach for the systematised review sits between a scoping review and a systematic review.
–
The scoping review can include empirical and non-empirical papers, will have more than one
reviewer and will typically exclude risk of bias assessments/critical appraisal. Its key aims are as
follows:
o Can act as a precursor to a systematic review.
o Includes a methodology for the conduct of the review
o Identifies the types of available evidence in a given field.
o Identifies and analyse knowledge gaps.
o Clarifies key concepts/ definitions in the literature.
o Examines how research is conducted on a certain topic or field.
o Identifies key characteristics or factors related to a concept.
The systematised review will include:
–
A methodology for the conduct of the review
Empirical and non-empirical papers
Generally incudes only one reviewer
Can include risk of bias assessments
Important Please provide me with screenshots from all search database and I would appreciate an excel
sheet (This can be done via a template, developed form or an excel spreadsheet with the developed
relevant columns to capture key information (which will be directed by the objectives and questions)
such as:
1. Author(s)
2. Year of publication
3. Origin/country of origin (where the source was published or conducted)
4. Aims/purpose
5. Population and sample size within the source of evidence (if applicable)
6. Methodology / methods
7. Intervention type, comparator and details of these (e.g. duration of the intervention) (if applicable).
Duration of the intervention (if applicable) –this would be the innovation or change which is the focus of
your project.
8. Outcomes and details of these (e.g. how measured) (if applicable)
9. Key findings that relate to the scoping review question/s.
