Do specialist outreach clinics improve health care? Evidence Update, Health Sector Development Series, December 2005.
Abstract
Each Evidence Update is a 2-page summary of a Cochrane Review of healthcare interventions relevant to people in low-income and middle-income countries.
This Evidence Update is adapted from Gruen RL, Weeramanthri TS, Knight SE, Bailie RS. Specialist outreach clinics in primary care and rural hospital settings. The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2003, Issue 4. Art. No.: CD003798.pub2. DOI: 10.1002/14651858. CD003798.pub2.
Specialist outreach clinics as part of a larger package can improve health outcomes. In cities, simple outreach care may have little benefit.
