About the eHealth Commission:
- The eHealth Commission is a 15-member stakeholder collaboration, representing nearly all domains of Colorado's healthcare industry, both rural and urban, providers, payers, consumers, state agencies and non-profits
- The Commission is currently serving as the Steering Committee for the development of Colorado's Health IT Roadmap, which will chart the course for our statewide efforts for the next 3 to 5 years
About the Governor’s Office of eHealth Innovation:
- The Office of eHealth Innovation, consisting of a Director (Mary Anne Leach), and the State Health IT Coordinator (Carrie Paykoc), supports the work of the eHealth Commission, and the Commission's recently chartered working groups: the HIT Planning Workgroup, and the Innovation Workgroup
- The Office of eHealth Innovation, in partnership with Prime Health, will be co-sponsoring this year's Prime Health Innovation Summit, which brings together the vital digital health innovation players in Colorado
- The Office supports the HIT efforts within SIM - the State Innovation Model - focused on aligning primary care and behavioral health
- In addition, the Office helps to align and coordinate health IT efforts across the various state agencies
- The Office is soon to engage a recently selected HIT Consulting partner, which will help in the development of a statewide Enterprise Architecture to bring together and align Colorado's various HIE and HIT elements, as well as many other projects supporting the Colorado HIT Roadmap
- The Office is working on a Master Data Management effort to develop preliminary functional design for a statewide Master Person Index (MPI), and a statewide Master Provider Directory (MPD) - both of which will be necessary to support evolving payment models, data quality, and population health analytics
- The Office, as the State Designated Entity (SDE), works closely with Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) to obtain, utilize, and govern the deployment of ARRA/HITECH 90/10 funding - projects are aligned with ongoing Meaningful Use efforts, particularly around advanced interoperability for our health information exchanges (HIEs)
Through these efforts, and other soon-to-be-defined efforts (though the new statewide health IT roadmap), the Office aims to accelerate digital health innovation, adoption, and transformation in service to the State's Triple Aim objectives.
