3.2.7 Conclusion

We have aimed in this section to summarize the collective experience in establishing and maintaining Cochrane Review Groups, to help guide existing and new Groups. This experience provides a baseline for people to work together in achieving the aims of The Cochrane Collaboration. Sharing this experience is something we can all foster through communication among Groups, both to avoid duplication and to enhance the output of Cochrane Review Groups in producing high quality reviews of reliable evidence about the effects of healthcare interventions.
