Authors' recommendations:
Based on low to very low quality evidence, advanced access did not have a statistically (or clinically) significant impact on health service utilization among patients with diabetes and/or coronary artery disease (CAD). Very low quality evidence showed a significant reduction in the proportion of patients with diabetes and CAD admitted to hospital whose length of stay was greater than 3 days. Evidence was inconsistent for changes in clinical outcomes for patients with diabetes or CAD. Very low quality evidence showed no increase in patient satisfaction with an advanced access scheduling system.
