Research evidence on system-level interventions for health will be presented. While the methods and approaches to produce and implement clinical guidelines are well established, the development of the actual recommendations poses several conceptual and methodological challenges.

“Data is the new oil”, so say organisations and experts around the world, who believe that data will have as great an impact on the 21st Century as oil had on the 20th Century. The foundations of The Cochrane Collaboration are built on the data it mines and synthesises, from randomised controlled trial reports, to the findings of Cochrane Reviews.
This special plenary session will launch a series of events examining the possibilities for developing, expanding and linking the data published in The Cochrane Library in the context of the release of the new Cochrane Register of Studies (CRS) and the ongoing review of the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). Presentations will range from discussion of the immediate changes that the CRS can facilitate, to an exploration of what could be possible, now and in the future, for linking and presenting Cochrane data. This session is open to any Colloquium participant, with the following agenda:
Opening presentation: an exploration of where we are and where we could be in five to ten years. An introduction to the work of the CENTRAL Development Committee, the development of the CRS, and the possibilities for doing more with our data

There are several multifaceted barriers to implementing evidence-based practice: they can be methodological (i.e. how evidence is presented), organizational (i.e. how the system is oriented to implement evidence), or socio-cultural.

Systematic reviews are critical for advancing knowledge from what is currently known and practiced. However, methods of reviewing are constantly evolving. There is a requirement to improve our understanding as methods develop and also to consider and explore alternative sources of evidence. Are we ready for reviewing the science of the XXI century?

Plenary session: Designing a sustainable evidence-based health care in times of crisis

Chairs
Mark Petticrew, UK
Isabelle Boutron, France
There is a continuous threat of social crises, economic downturns, or natural disasters. Any talk about the future seems to lead to the ongoing concerns for health systems in the world. Are we ready to deal with this perspective of crisis more or less permanent? Is research designed and prepared to survive in health care systems in crisis? Different perspectives from economists to politicians and researchers will provide some insight into how evidence could be obtained and used to help sustain a health care system in a crisis context.

Special Workshop: CENTRAL & the Cochrane Register of Studies: a discussion and policy-setting workshop
Friday 21st Oct 11, 17:45 – 19:15
By Ruth Foxlee, Information Specialist at the Cochrane Editorial Unit; and David Tovey, Editor in Chief of The Cochrane Library, UK
The Cochrane Register of Studies (CRS) is the new Specialised Register (SR) management system developed by Metaxis Ltd on behalf of The Cochrane Collaboration. It offers a springboard for the development of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) by taking advantage of the latest developments in information technology.
In this discussion and policy-setting workshop we will explore the feasibility of a study-based CENTRAL, the types of records eligible for inclusion in CENTRAL and the possibilities for creating links between CENTRAL records, other Cochrane records, and records from external resources. We will also cover questions such as who is eligible to search the CRS, what are our priorities for acquiring copyright access to external records, and how the CRS could be marketed commercially. This workshop is open to any Colloquium participant, but is particularly aimed at those with an interest in developing CENTRAL and Cochrane groups who maintain an SR.
