Making our evidence more usable – interoperability in practice
Cochrane has always aimed to provide the right evidence at the right time. As we move into a more collaborative and AI-enabled era, delivering this goal will increasingly rely on structured data. Gert van Valkenhoef, Cochrane’s Head of Data, sets out why we are improving Cochrane’s approach to data, the difference this could make, and what this means for our authors.
