Dr. Klasko was honored “for making large-scale healthcare personal,” partly for his efforts to train Jefferson Health physicians in the use of the system’s telehealth platform.
Dr. Klasko also was praised for his “hotspotting” initiative, which pairs medical students with patients who chronically overuse the ER to help teach them self-care skills. The program has lowered unnecessary ER visits in the system by 60 percent.
