Why Doctors Use Evidence but Managers (Mostly) Don’t
Notes de l’épisode
Helen Pearson is the author of the book “Beyond Belief: How Evidence Shows What Really Works.” Helen's problem is this: How do you get people to make important decisions based on high-quality evidence, instead of on hunches or habits?
In this episode, Helen explains:
- How a doctor's fatal mistake sparked the evidence-based medicine movement
- Why management is so resistant to evidence-based practices
- How systematic reviews changed the way she works as a science journalist
- Why global trust in science remains high – outside the US
- What a randomized trial of pint glasses revealed about preventing violent injuries.
