Bringing Best Practices and Clinical Tools to Under-resourced Providers - Dr. Rebecca Weintraub, Director of Better Evidence at Ariadne Labs

After working alongside healthcare providers in under-resourced countries, today’s Raise the Line guest Dr. Rebecca Weintraub came to see that the desire to serve patients and the curiosity to learn how to be the best clinician possible are universal, but the best tools to do so are not.  That’s what led her to launch the Better Evidence program at Ariadne Labs which designs, tests and scales data-driven digital tools that help manage diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainty. Currently, Better Evidence engages over 200,000 current and future clinicians and public health leaders in 147 medical schools and clinical sites across 182 countries. “If you are an isolated provider or a trainee, we believe evidence-based clinical tools help you improve your clinical confidence and clinical acumen. We're trying to help create the habits of educating yourself on the journey to being an excellent clinician.” In this illuminating conversation with host Hillary Acer, Weintraub also talks about other capacity-building work such as helping to prepare clinicians for major public health roles, and the critical importance of providers having reliable internet and cell connectivity, something she expects will improve in the near future. Don’t miss this on-the-ground view of some key elements in improving the delivery of healthcare across the globe.
