Research synthesis and dissemination as a bridge to knowledge management: the Cochrane Collaboration.

In the current information age, research synthesis is a particularly useful tool for keeping track of scientific research and making sense of the large volumes of frequently conflicting data derived from primary studies. The Cochrane Collaboration is a global initiative "to help people make well-informed decisions about health care by preparing, maintaining and promoting the accessibility of systematic reviews of the effects of healthcare interventions". In this paper we set the work of the Cochrane Collaboration in historical perspective, explain what a Cochrane review is, and describe initiatives for promoting worldwide dissemination of synthesized information. We also consider emerging evidence of the Cochrane Collaboration's impact on health-care practice, policy, research and education. Finally, we highlight the need for increased investment in the preparation and maintenance of Cochrane reviews, particularly those that address health issues that are relevant to people living in low- and middle-income countries.

Improving uptake of a breast screening programme: A knowledge management approach for opportunistic intervention.

Reducing mortality from breast cancer through screening has been accepted as a viable tool and breast screening has attracted a lot of attention from healthcare organisations worldwide. Government funded screening programmes in Europe, the Americas and Australia have made good progress in diagnosing and treating breast cancer through effective screening programmes. The UK's National Health Service (NHS) National Screening Programme manages one of the biggest publicly funded breast screening programmes. In the UK, only 75% of the intended population is screened and a diverse set of efforts has attempted to identify and initiate countermeasures to improve screening attendance. This paper identifies how innovative use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) can be the focus for strategising not only improved screening attendance but also better quality of care for women.
