Cochrane Fields focus on areas of interest that extend across a number of health topics. Cochrane Fields work with Cochrane’s Review Groups and Review Group Networks that deal with topics relevant to their area of interest and promote the awareness and use of evidence-based practices in that area.

Cochrane has 13 thematic Fields which focus on dimensions of health care other than a condition or topic - including the setting of care (primary care), the type of consumer (children, older people), or the type of provider (nursing)

Cochrane Fields work with decision-makers (health care providers, policy-makers, practitioners, researchers, consumers, and the general public ) to make evidence-informed healthcare decisions by using high quality Cochrane systematic reviews of the best available evidence.
