About Cochrane US Network
Trusted evidence. Informed decisions. Better health.
In May, 2019 UChicago Medicine became an inaugural affiliate of the Cochrane US Network, a group of 11 centers promoting evidence-based decision making in health care.
The overwhelming amount and varied quality of health information that is free of bias, conflict of interest and commercial support on the Internet has been a concern since the 1990s. Evidence-based tools, initially developed for physicians, are available to a growing healthcare consumer market to help navigate quality information.
Cochrane, a not-for profit organization, has grown to be a global, independent network of researchers, providers, patients and caregivers that produce systematic reviews based on the best available research evidence.
“We are excited and motivated to utilize the expertise at the University of Chicago Medicine to help guide the efforts of the Cochrane US Network in creating and disseminating high-quality evidence to patients, healthcare providers, and policy makers,”
said Jason Alexander, MD, Director of the Cochrane US Network Affiliate at the University of Chicago Medicine.
See the Cochrane US University of Chicago Medicine page on their website for contact information.
Faculty, staff and students interested in learning more about systematic reviews are encouraged to utilize UChicago comprehensive Systematic Review Service at its John Crerar Library.
