MISSION STATEMENT

The Cochrane Collaboration is an international organisation that aims to help people make well-informed decisions about healthcare by preparing, maintaining and promoting the accessibility of systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare interventions 1.

2.

RECOMMENDATION: The Mission Statement is revised. The existing statement is tightly focused and well written, but it begs the question as to whether it is too tightly focused around ‘preparing, maintaining and promoting the accessibility of systematic reviews’ given the Collaboration’s ambitions and its potential wider role in promoting evidence-based healthcare decision-making.

DECISION REQUIRED: Do you agree? YES/NO. If ‘Yes’, what changes would you make? Feel free to be bold and radical – all ideas are welcome. Use the next slide to record your ideas.

DECISION REQUIRED: Do you agree? YES/NO. If ‘Yes’, what changes would you make? Exact wording is unimportant, focus instead on what you want the goal to achieve. Do you see any tensions between this goal and the other Strategic Goals? Use the next slide to record your ideas.
