Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group
- Summary
-
The Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group aims to prepare, maintain and promote access to systematic reviews of interventions used to prevent or treat eye diseases and/or visual impairment. The work of the CEVG is carried out by over 300 members in more than 30 countries. The CEVG editorial team is located in London, UK and the CEVG US Project (CEVG@US) is a US-based satellite at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
The CEVG@US is funded by the National Eye Institute. The overall objective of CEVG@US is to develop a critical mass of US-based vision researchers and practitioners who are trained in preparing and using systematic reviews.
The CEVG@US aims to accomplish four main goals: 1) Expand awareness of evidence-based health care in general and in eyes and vision specifically, 2) Develop a critical mass of vision researchers who are able to perform and interpret systematic reviews, and train others to do the same; 3) Develop a critical mass of clinicians who use the results of systematic reviews as an evidence base to guide their practice, and to train others to do the same; 4) Generate an increased number of systematic reviews in priority vision research areas, published in The...

Projects
Culture-Quality-Collaborative (CQC)
- Summary
-
The CQC is a network of leading healthcare organizations that is working in conjunction with the Center faculty to share ideas, experiences, and solutions to real world problems that arise as a result of cross-cultural interactions that hinder the elimination of disparities in healthcare settings. Members participate in monthly webinars, attend an annual in-person conference, as well as have access to the members’ only section of the CQC website. The webinars provide members with the opportunity to learn, network, and share experiences as they develop and deploy the various interventions.
Each webinar features an expert on cultural competency who presents on a topic about which the members have expressed an interesting in learning. In addition, a brief case study of a success or challenge associated with the topic is presented by one of the members. Prior to developing and deploying interventions, each of the members completes the COA360 for several units or departments as part of the CQC/COA360 continuous quality improvement (CQI) cycle. These assessments establish a baseline of performance, identification of deficiencies, followed by the implementation of tailored interventions, and re-assessment to determine the effectiveness of the interventions.
