Improving Clinical Practice
PHP uses simulated online patients and evidence-based feedback to sustainably improve health care practice and patient outcomes in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).
Our Impact
Clinical Measurement That Improves Care
Peabody Health Philanthropies (PHP) helps clinicians reduce variation through EQIS, a platform and method that measures decisions during realistic online patient cases. PHP builds each program with a country partner prepared to lead it.
About Us
A Model Built for Lasting Use
Founded in 2023, Peabody Health Philanthropies works to reduce variation in care and preventable clinical errors. PHP combines a validated simulated-patient method with clinical expertise from each country so clinicians can strengthen decisions in practice.
Country partners learn to manage the cases, data, platform, funding, and program decisions. This prepares them to continue EQIS without permanent outside support.
The EQIS Solution
Learning That Changes Clinical Decisions
The EQIS (E-Patient Quality Improvement and Standardization) Platform puts a realistic patient encounter on a phone, tablet, or computer. Clinicians work through the decisions they would make during a visit and receive evidence-based feedback after each submitted question.
How It Works
Realistic online cases
Each online case takes about 20 minutes and can be completed on a phone, tablet, or computer.
Feedback after every question
After each submitted question, EQIS gives private, evidence-based feedback. A final summary reviews the learning from the case.
Measurement that supports improvement
Teams complete six rounds of three cases over two years so progress and variation can be measured over time.
Participation exceeds 90% among eligible clinicians at each PHP site. Program leaders receive anonymous, aggregate reports and can review de-identified individual results. PHP protects participants' personal information.
Take Action
Reliable care protects patients and families.
PHP plans to raise $300,000 by the end of 2027 to expand access to EQIS in new geographies and clinical areas, increasing our reach to underserved communities around the world.
