Abstract
Objectives

Participants will:
1) Learn how technology can make all parts of the Evidence Ecosystem more efficient and effective
2) Share and discuss their opportunities and concerns for using technology to improve their experience with the Evidence Ecosystem
3) Learn how global collaborations are working together to make this a reality in the next year
4) Join these global collaborations (optional)

Description

What is your experience with processing information across the Evidence Ecosystem? It is the best of times... It is the worst of times...
Technology makes many things more efficient and effective yet also becomes a barrier to achieving our goals.

This session will explore how technology can improve all aspects of the Evidence Ecosystem, including finding and accessing evidence, synthesizing evidence, developing guidance, implementing guidance, contextualizing evidence and guidance, collaborating on projects, and using resources efficiently.
Leaders from global collaborations will share how they are working together to make interoperability across the Evidence Ecosystem achievable in 2024.


Activities/Interaction Plans
