S3E8: What's Trending NOW is Social Determinants of Health: From Buzzword to Bottom Line Strategy. On this episode of Trending NOW, host Shahid Shah engages with Elizabeth Levy, Managing Director at AArete, to unpack the powerful business case for Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). Far from being just a feel-good initiative, Levy makes the case that SDOH must become a core payer strategy—cutting costs, improving outcomes, and strengthening risk adjustment. Drawing from AArete’s work with over 100 health plans, she shares insights on how SDOH can be operationalized, why it’s often misunderstood as "charity," and how advanced analytics and AI can transform SDOH from dashboard data into predictive, proactive care. Tune in to hear how progressive payers are unlocking value from SDOH—today, not someday.
