He is a Full Professor of Public Health at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Affiliate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. Dr. Bricker is founder and leader of the Health and Behavioral Innovations in Technology (“HABIT”) Research Group. The HABIT research group focuses on developing and testing innovative theory-based behavioral interventions for tobacco cessation and weight loss, especially those delivered in widely disseminable technology platforms. He and his team have developed a novel health behavior change intervention model based on the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (“ACT”). The principal investigator of over $35 million US dollars in research grants, he has been leading ten NIH R01 randomized trial grants, as well as led or collaborated on multiple other Federal and private research grants. His current grants focus on testing a machine learning natural language processing chatbot for quitting smoking, several smartphone applications for tobacco cessation in the general population, among cancer patients, American Indians & Alaska Natives, Hispanics, and adolescents, and a weight loss telephone coaching program based on ACT. His “iCanQuit” smartphone app based on ACT was proven more effective than a leading National Cancer Institute smartphone app based on the US Clinical Practice Guidelines in a large, randomized trial published in JAMA Internal Medicine. iCanQuit is now publicly available. He has published over 150 peer-reviewed research articles on addictions, behavioral interventions, and technologies. Currently, he serves as a Senior Editor of the journal Addiction.

Healthcare is one of the most complex—and misunderstood—industries in the world. Few people explain it better than Dr. Eric Bricker. In this episode, we sit down with the physician, entrepreneur, and Chief Medical Officer behind AHealthcareZ, whose viral whiteboard sessions have become must-watch content for healthcare leaders. Dr. Bricker traces his unconventional path from internal medicine to entrepreneur to healthcare economist and reveals how financial incentives, not just clinical decisions, shape outcomes across hospitals, insurers, employers, and emerging health tech. We unpack why healthcare feels so opaque to patients and employers alike, what's broken in insurance and billing, and why misaligned incentives continue to drive cost and complexity. Dr. Bricker also makes the case for transparency, stronger primary care, and smarter use of technology as levers for real change. This conversation is essential listening for executives, clinicians, benefits leaders, founders, and policymakers who want to move beyond surface-level reform and understand how healthcare actually works—and how it can work better.

We got the ball rolling in 2025 with this episode, and it ended up at the very top of the activity list, so we'll close out the year with it as well! Thank you, Dr. Eric Bricker for joining us in the studio for Episode 48 of the Astonishing Healthcare podcast. Known for his entertaining and educational videos covering all sorts of hot topics in and around healthcare and employer/employee benefits, Dr. Bricker and host Justin Venneri discussed the issues of high-cost drugs and access to claims data - two topics he covered on AHealthcareZ - Healthcare Finance Explained - that should [still] be top of mind for plan sponsors as pharmacy costs continue to rise.Dr. Bricker shared several ways employers, depending on their size and risk tolerance, may be able to navigate the challenge of rising pharmaceutical costs for orphan and other expensive drugs - including GLP-1s. He also explains how the RFP process can be used to secure the plan's claim data, which is necessary to meet fiduciary obligations. While every plan is unique, most plan sponsors face similar challenges that the traditional PBM model isn't flexible or aligned enough to solve.Lastly, Dr. Bricker expressed astonishment by the complacency out there, but he was right! The setup was perfect for an acceleration in the pace of change in 2025, and we see the momentum carrying over into 2026 - so, tune in to hear why, if you didn't catch Episode 48 the first time around.AHealthcareZ Reference VideosHigh Cost Orphan Disease Drugs ExplainedDo Employers Own Their Claims Data?

What if the biggest danger to Canada isn't a foreign enemy or even U.S. President Donald Trump? Rather, poor policy decisions and decades of deferred leadership that have created deep regional resentments – including here in Alberta – that threaten to tear the country apart. And what if the greatest threat to Canadian unity now comes from the west?John Ibbitson, veteran political journalist, and Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Global Public Affairs, join West of Centre host Kathleen Petty to discuss their third book together, Breaking Point: The New Big Shifts Putting Canada at Risk.The book is an urgent, necessary sequel to The Big Shift, where the political realignment the authors predicted – the movement of power away from the Laurentian Elite toward the West and suburban immigrant voters. Only now, the country is at a critical juncture where national stability is at stake – and Alberta is at the centre. They argue the horizontal threat is the refusal to face the fact that Canada is fundamentally a resource-based economy that has created deep regional resentments that threaten to pull the country apart. But, Ibbitson and Bricker say, the growing cracks in the country's foundation can be fixed, in part by radical federal decentralization, forcing the federal government to finally govern the country it claims to represent. • Host: Kathleen Petty• Guests: Darrell Bricker, John Ibbitson• Producer and editor: Diane Yanko

Mais um Urocast no ar!Hoje com a moderação do Dr. Fernando Korkes e convidado Dr. José Henrique Santiago abordando o tema de derivações urinárias após cistectomia.

Have you ever asked yourself, Why does Jesus have to die to forgive us of our sins or to bring humanity salvation? If you've ever had trouble understanding what Jesus accomplished on Calvary, this message is for you.The Bible is a unified story all telling the same redemptive story of God saving His creation that has been corrupted by sin. God uses covenants as a vehicle to grow in relationship with those he establishes a covenantal relationship with. In the New Covenant, we see Jesus fulfill all of the covenants that came prior to it, but not only that, we also see him establish a brand new covenant that will never go away. In this message, Pastor Ethan Bricker brings his Covenants series to a climactic moment where all of the covenants in the Bible find their fulfillment in Jesus. Thanks for sharing these videos with your friends & family and subscribing to our channel.

Special: Adam Bricker, ASC Cinematographer Adam Bricker, ASC chats with Illya at our live podcast event hosted by the Broadcast Education Association at NAB Las Vegas. Adam discusses his early career and education, his breakthrough role as the DP of Chef's Table on Netflix, and his work as the sole cinematographer on all four seasons of the Max TV show, Hacks. Adam enjoys shifting between the documentary style of Chef's Table and the narrative scripted comedy of Hacks. "I want my documentary work to be like a movie, and I want my movies to feel more like documentaries," he says. "So I think that they're obviously different muscles. I've been lucky to do a season of Hacks, and then spend the summer traveling with my friends and shooting Chef's Table and then going back to Hacks." You can watch the current season of Hacks on Max, and the new season of Chef's Table: Legends will be on Netflix April 28.

In Episode 472, Stacey Richter speaks with Dr. Eric Bricker about the impactful strategies hospital systems use to maximize revenue from high-cost patients. They explore the financial complexities and contracting tactics that enable hospitals to profit significantly from a small percentage of high-cost claimants. Key points include the negotiation of provider stop-loss contract provisions, strategic adjustment of charge masters, and the intentional steerage of patients to high-revenue service lines. This episode highlights the intricacies of hospital finance and the hidden mechanisms that drive healthcare costs for self-insured employers and other plan sponsors. We could have 0.5% to 1% of total plan members costing upwards of 40% of total plan dollars. And I bring this up just to highlight the magnitude of the money here. In that show from last week, we take the issue of high-cost claimants from the standpoint of the plan sponsor. Today, however, we're gonna be looking at this from the standpoint of the hospital system. If we were to come up with a motto for the show today with Dr. Eric Bricker, it's that all costs are somebody else's revenue. And when it's revenue and profit of the magnitude that we're talking about with many high-cost claimants, it starts to be less of an accidental “Oh, wow! How did that CABG patient wind up in our clinic? What are the odds?” and more of a “Whoever is not steering patients is letting someone else with a big profit incentive lock down that steerage in deeply embedded ways.”  === LINKS ===
