Additionally, on July 26, a revised measures list was been added to our website. After incorporating stakeholder and program partner feedback, these measures will be our recommendation to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

In June, the Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (the Department) informed stakeholders of the transition to a State Plan Amendment (SPA) for the initial implementation of the developed HTP components. Since then, many stakeholders have reached out to Department staff with questions about the timing of outstanding program components. In order to answer these questions, we have created a document outlining the tasks and program design components remaining before the SPA and Section 1115 waiver can be submitted to CMS. This document can be found on the HTP website.
As it has been throughout the development of the HTP, the Department remains committed to a development process that is open, transparent, and inclusive of stakeholder and community input and feedback.

Update on
HTP Stakeholder Engagement Forum
|
First and foremost, thank you for all of your responses to the HTP Stakeholder Engagement Survey we shared.
As reported in the last HTP Newsletter, the Department will host multiple HTP Stakeholder Engagement Forums to give all those involved in the program an opportunity to provide feedback to the Colorado Healthcare Affordability and Sustainability Enterprise (CHASE) Board and Department staff. Currently, we are working to identify a facilitator and will begin hosting meetings in the fall. Updates about the forum can be found in future HTP Newsletters. Stay tuned!

Community & Health Neighborhood Engagement Final Report
|
Final Reports for the Community & Health Neighborhood Engagement (CHNE) process are due September 20, 2019. Final Reports, submitted at the end of the pre-waiver CHNE process, must include information about the entirety of the process with a primary focus on efforts to prioritize community needs, select target populations, identify initiatives, and develop and solidify any partnerships.
When evaluating Final Reports, the Department aims to ensure a broad range of community partners were given meaningful opportunities to provide input into the hospital's planning for its HTP participation and their input was reflected in the planning. HTP initiatives under consideration should be tied to the results from a meaningful CHNE process.
Final Reports must be submitted in .pdf form by September 20, 2019 at 5 p.m. to the HTP email address. and reports received after this deadline will not be considered. Following the submission date, the reports will be reviewed by an independent analyst. The reports will not be scored and the Department will work collaboratively with participants as they work on their applications to address any questions or concerns that may arise from the Final Report.

Prometheus office hours update
|
 Over the next several months, the Department will be redesigning dashboards and refreshing data in Prometheus. Until those updates are completed, we will change the frequency of Prometheus office hours based on feedback from providers. The Department will be monitoring the Prometheus email address throughout the week to determine if there is a high enough volume of questions to merit the continuation of the biweekly meeting. Questions should be submitted to the Prometheus email address and two days prior to the next tentative call, we will send out a message confirming if we are carrying on with our normal meeting time. If you have questions about office hours, please contact Joe Sekiya, Hospital Transformation Project Coordinator.
