Welcome to Natural MD Radio, your place to hear the whole truth on health and medicine for women and children and get the tools you need to take back your health naturally starting now.

I'm Dr. Aviva Rong. It is such a pleasure to welcome a very special guest and a bit of an unusual guest to my show today in that I don't have a lot of obstetricians

My guest today is Dr. Neil Shaw, he's an MD, and an assistant professor of obstetrics,

faculty at Ariadne Labs for Health Systems Innovation.

He's an expert in designing, testing, and spreading system interventions that improve the safety,

as medical center, Dr. Shaw cares for patients during critical life moments

that range from surgery to primary care to birth.

Prior to joining the faculty, Dr. Shaw founded

He's listed among the 40 smartest people in health care

In 2015, Dr. Shaw co-authored the book Understanding Value-based Health Care, which Dawn Berwick has called

an instant classic and a Toul Gowanday called a masterful primer for all clinicians.
