| Insurance Pools: How Do We Pay for the Expensive People? |
 Jay Want, MD, CMO
I think for most people, including me at times, the effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act is an exercise in taking something they didn't understand well but have feelings about, and replacing it with something else they don't understand well and will have feelings about. I could comment on the state of our legislative process that this is the case, but that's for another day and another blog Instead, I'm going to use this column to try to explain the difficulty of reshaping the insurance pools in the ACA.

| The Data Challenge: Incomplete, Inaccurate Data's Impact on Social Determinants of Health |
 Kristin Paulson, Director of Health Care Programs
Originally Published in Medical News, Jan. 25, 2017
Two years ago, under the guidance of the Colorado Prevention Alliance we started collaborating with a group of payers, providers, and systems to look at what the health system was missing to be more effective. Out of the work of that group came an overwhelming consensus that the largest gap was addressing the impact of non-medical factors on health after people left the hospital or physician's office. We had serious concerns about the way these social determinants of health were being addressed within the health care system.

In 2014, CIVHC featured Southeast Health Group's (SHG) Tipping Point program as the February Spotlight on Innovation. SHG was two years into a three-year, $1.4 million award from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid innovation (CMMI) to develop the integrated care program, Total Integration, Patient Navigation and Provider Training Program (Tipping Point). CIVHC checked in with Nancy King, SHG's Development Director, to learn about the outcomes of the program.
