Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

appears in the titles of thousands of scientific articles, most do not describe how these lessons were produced or the level of rigor involved in their development. As part of a project aimed at deriving lessons from hospitals' resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic in five countries (the HoSPiCOVID project), we sought to systematised the process of producing these lessons. To do so, we conducted a rapid review to identify the best ways of developing quality lessons learned (QLLs). A QLL results from a systematic process of collecting, compiling, and analysing data derived from a research project. The rapid review follows the same key steps as a systematic review, adapted to a more accelerated and pragmatic format. From 1,881 documents initially identified, 18 were retained. Their analysis identified three principles to guide the process of developing QLLs: 1) Creating a supportive climate; 2) Choosing the right leaders or facilitators for the process; and 3) Engaging in a scientific approach. Based on these findings, we developed a guide comprising 11 steps, structured into two main phases: preparatory steps for QLL development, and steps for identifying and formulating QLLs. This guide offers a structured process for teams seeking to enhance the rigor, clarity, and potential transferability of the lessons they formulate.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
