Why Doctors Use Evidence but Managers (Mostly) Don’t
About this episode
Helen Pearson discusses the challenges of making decisions based on high-quality evidence in management compared to medicine.
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.
