Improve Health Systems continued - The Colorado Trust

BACK

To provide apples-to-apples quality comparisons and better troubleshooting information at all levels of care, Colorado must:

  • Reach consensus on quality measures
  • Resolve proprietary concerns 
  • Standardize data collection practices 
  • Merge data from different sources to provide a full picture 
  • Routinely analyze and publicly report results.

The Trust is investing in strategies and partners that seek consensus on how to measure and improve quality. In addition to the work of CCGC, The Trust supports the Center for Improving Value in Health Care (CIVHC) in its effort to change fundamentally the way care is provided in Colorado. CIVHC is a new, multi-stakeholder initiative to identify and pursue effective strategies for quality improvement and cost containment. By connecting and convening those engaged in quality improvement efforts already underway, CIVHC is well-positioned to identify health outcomes most in need of improvement, as well as potential solutions.

Improving systems can lead to better health outcomes for Coloradans while simultaneously achieving higher quality and cost containment.

Health information technology, financial incentives and cultural changes that facilitate teamwork among providers and patients can help lead to a more integrated health care system. Improve health systems - The Colorado Trust
