Factors |
Hypothesis on how the factors may impact outcomes |
Targeted patient |
Demographic characteristics (e.g. age, race, ethnicity, education) |
Patients with higher level of socioeconomic status (e.g. well‐educated, high income, less vulnerable) might benefit more from the intervention. |
Medical history (e.g. different diseases and/or complications) |
Intervention might be optimally performed in patients with more serious and acute conditions. |
Intervention |
Oriented pattern (e.g. government‐oriented vs hospital‐oriented) |
Government‐oriented intervention might be more effective in coordination of care than the hospital‐oriented intervention, as the former is policy‐driven and has larger coverage. |
Intervention strategies (e.g. different types, different settings) |
Interventions that are more problem‐centred, easier to operate, and target participants who play key role in care coordination, such as EMS dispatchers, may have better effect. |
Healthcare system |
National socioeconomic level (e.g. high‐income countries, middle‐income countries, low‐income countries) |
Intervention might be more effective when it is implemented in countries or regions with a higher socioeconomic level. |
Resource distribution |
Intervention might be more effective when it is implemented in countries or regions where medical resources are distributed less unequally. |
