Delighted to be featured in our client @massmunicipal's The Beacon publication this month, in an article entitled "Health literacy is essential to success of wellness."
Enhanced knowledge and competencies through continuing education and certification are essential for HR professionals to make their full impact on employers and employees alike.
Does HR have what it takes to meet today’s human capital challenges? @SHRM CEO Johnny Taylor’s talk in @CSSHRM Bit.ly/2OHOpV1

Did you know that most employers pay 250-700% of #Medicare pricing for the identical procedure? Did you know that efficiently run #hospitals do not lose money providing Medicare services? No incentive to improve if employers pay whatever is asked.

Sobering discussion around #behavioralhealth & #opioidaddiction at @COHealthFDN #CHS2018. Looking forward to discussing solutions & figuring out how @CIVHC_News can support.
Another reason health literacy is critical. Most people don't discriminate between high value care and unnecessary care when cutting back. The former will be much more affordable in the long run.
Research shows that people do cut back on health care when they have to spend more for it. The problem is that they don’t cut only wasteful care. nyti.ms/2NV0IMa
Unnecessary care is one of the biggest drivers of overall health costs. And @quizzify is right it can be harmful. Education around health literacy is one way to improve health and lower costs.
Instead of pushing people to get into the medical system, it may be wiser to help them distinguish harmful care from useful care. As we say at Quizzify, just because it's healthcare, doesn't mean it's good for you.

*@PEHealthIT discusses support for legislature that would stabilize the #Medicare Part D program. Such measures could reduce rising patient financial responsibility. #VBID aligns patient’s #OutOfPocket costs with the value of specific clinical services: bit.ly/VBIDinfo

New study by @renutip @UM_IHPI in @JournalGIM: Only 1 in 5 PCPs had conversations about out-of-pocket costs with #Medicaid expansion patients, but half of PCPs who had cost conversations thought they changed management. link.springer.com/article/10…

According to @American_Heart, limited #healthliteracy is blocking people from achieving good cardiovascular health and treatment. Diabetes patients with low health literacy are more likely to develop complications, such as diabetic retinopathy bit.ly/2JkwnE8

Finally - a bit of transparency and the ability to shop for some non-emergent medical services. Nice work @CIVHC_News Lets make this happen for all medical services nationwide! teapawt.net/CIVHC_News/status/1018…

We (@CIVHC_News) have been at this #healthcare #price #transparency thing for a while, but the variation never ceases to amaze me. If you need an MRI/CT/etc. make sure you shop! You could save thousands. civhc.org/shop-for-care/

"HR must lead the development of cultures that share a ‘common language’ when it comes to people data and a shared understanding and appreciation of the positive impact people data can have on business outcomes.” ow.ly/RSjg30kBPI0

So important: Read the fine print before choosing ANY #health plan - especially some of the skimpier ones like association health plans npr.org/sections/health-shot… #healthcare

* The #HighValue Health Plan is a #ClinicallyNuanced alternative to traditional #HDHPs, which would lower cost-sharing for #HighValue services and improve #HealthOutcomes. vbidcenter.org/v-bid-whitebo…

To achieve a culture of health, you need a culture of health literacy. It is also important for employees to realize that wellness vendors are often wrong about dietary advice.https://…lnkd.in/eHiztUF lnkd.in/eyvd2Vg
Drug purchasing is ripe for disruption. PBMs and other mIddlemen are gaming the system to optimize their bottom line. Employer purchasers can encourage employees and consumers to shop for medication. Purchasers can also get more savvy about drug benefits and their formulary. teapawt.net/miller7/status/1012397…
