Evidence of integrated health service delivery during COVID-19 in low and lower-middle-income countries : protocol for a scoping review Neill, Rachel; Hasan, Md Zabir; Das, Priyanka; Venugopal, Vasuki; Jain, Nishant; Arora, Dinesh; Gupta, Shivam
Abstract
Introduction The importance of integrated, peoplecentred health systems has been recognised as a central component of Universal Health Coverage. Integration has also been highlighted as a critical element for building resilient health systems that can withstand the shock of health emergencies. However, there is a dearth of research and systematic synthesis of evidence on the synergistic relationship between integrated health services and pandemic preparedness, response, and recovery in lowincome and lower-middle-income countries (LMICs). Thus, the authors are organising a scoping review aiming to explore the application of integrated health service delivery approaches during the emerging COVID-19 pandemic in LMICs. Methods and analysis This scoping review adheres to the six steps for scoping reviews from Arksey and O’Malley. Peer-reviewed scientific literature will be systematically assembled using a standardised and replicable search strategy from seven electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL Plus, the WHO’s Global Research Database on COVID-19 and LitCovid. Initially, the title and abstract of the collected literature, published in English from December 2019 to June 2020, will be screened for inclusion which will be followed by a full-text review by two independent reviewers. Data will be charted using a data extraction form and reported in narrative format with accompanying data matrix. Ethics and dissemination No ethical approval is required for the review. The study will be conducted from June 2020 to May 2021. Results from this scoping review will provide a snapshot of the evidence currently being generated related to integrated health service delivery in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in LMICs. The findings will be developed into reports and a peer-reviewed article and will assist policy-makers in making pragmatic and evidence-based decisions for current and future pandemic responses.

Introduction The importance of integrated, peoplecentred health systems has been recognised as a central
component of Universal Health Coverage. Integration has
also been highlighted as a critical element for building
resilient health systems that can withstand the shock of
health emergencies. However, there is a dearth of research
and systematic synthesis of evidence on the synergistic
relationship between integrated health services and
pandemic preparedness, response, and recovery in lowincome and lower-middle-income countries (LMICs). Thus,
the authors are organising a scoping review aiming to
explore the application of integrated health service delivery
approaches during the emerging COVID-19 pandemic in
LMICs.
Methods and analysis This scoping review adheres
to the six steps for scoping reviews from Arksey and
O’Malley. Peer-reviewed scientific literature will be
systematically assembled using a standardised and
replicable search strategy from seven electronic
databases, including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web
of Science, CINAHL Plus, the WHO’s Global Research
Database on COVID-19 and LitCovid. Initially, the title and
abstract of the collected literature, published in English
from December 2019 to June 2020, will be screened for
inclusion which will be followed by a full-text review by
two independent reviewers. Data will be charted using a
data extraction form and reported in narrative format with
accompanying data matrix.
Ethics and dissemination No ethical approval is required
for the review. The study will be conducted from June
2020 to May 2021. Results from this scoping review
will provide a snapshot of the evidence currently being
generated related to integrated health service delivery in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic in LMICs. The findings
will be developed into reports and a peer-reviewed article
and will assist policy-makers in making pragmatic and
evidence-based decisions for current and future pandemic
responses.
