The non-profit Cochrane Collaboration works to help health care providers make well-informed decisions about care based on the best available evidence. The group creates, updates, and promotes the accessibility of Cochrane Reviews – internationally recognized as the benchmark for evidence-based clinical review.
This session will provide insight into Cochrane’s purpose, scope, goals, and processes as the global focus on evidence-based medicine and comparative effectiveness research intensifies, while also providing a "behind the scenes" look at the role of information professionals in the creation of these reviews.
