IT’S HEALTH LITERACY MONTH: Smarter choices. Better health. Lower healthcare costs. Join the conversation!
In this episode of The Health Literacy 2.0 Podcast, Seth Serxner is joined by Dr. Ari Hoffman, SVP Product at Collective Health, a workforce benefits platform that integrates various benefit levers to deliver streamlined and holistic benefits administration.
Their in-depth discussion covers a range of critical topics affecting the healthcare landscape today—from health literacy and value-based care to digital health solutions and AI’s potential role in transforming healthcare.
Dr. Ari Hoffman is an accomplished graduate of Stanford University and UCSF Medical School. Before joining Collective Health, he held various clinical and academic leadership roles at UCSF, including his most recent position as Value Improvement Director for Hospital Medicine. His contributions have earned him several prestigious awards, such as the 2012 Quality & Safety Innovation Challenge and the 2010 Innovative Teaching Award. With a robust background in health policy, Dr. Hoffman has been mentored by notable figures like Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a healthcare adviser during the Obama administration, and Dr. Steve Pearson, founder and President of the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER). Though he has spent years on the UCSF faculty teaching health policy and value, this focus evolved over time.
In a wide-ranging conversation, Ari and Seth discuss:
☑️ The crucial role of data in helping members make informed healthcare decisions.
☑️ The significance of health literacy in guiding members through benefit selection and plan design to avoid financial pitfalls.
☑️ Measuring and agreeing on parameters for value-based care and contracting.
☑️ The need for clear and transparent tools for navigating healthcare structures, focusing on health literacy, simplicity, transparency, and intuitiveness
☑️ The importance of data-driven and evidence-based approaches in healthcare, chronic disease management, and the role of delivery systems in providing appropriate and cost-effective care.
☑️ And much more.
