At the moment, Cochrane is still focused on the work of the Review Groups, which are responsible for producing the systematic reviews that are then disseminated through the Cochrane Library and other traditional forms of publication. Field groups, on the other hand, are responsible for coordinating the work of review groups, raising awareness of the need for and importance of systematic reviews, and promoting the preparation and maintenance of specialized databases. Geographical centers, such as Cochrane Italy, are responsible for disseminating Cochrane values and practices in different languages, providing support and a space for collaboration for centers in the field.

Cochrane Rehabilitation Field is committed to ensuring that all rehabilitation professionals can practice evidence-based medicine, integrating the best available scientific evidence with their clinical experience and patient values. Cochrane Rehabilitation acts as a link between Cochrane and all those interested in rehabilitation. On the one hand, it brings scientific evidence and methods developed by Cochrane into the world of rehabilitation; on the other hand, it transmits to Cochrane the priorities, needs and peculiarities of rehabilitation, improving the methods of evidence synthesis and adapting them to the needs of people with disabilities and the daily clinical practice of rehabilitation.
