Latest from the CO Dept. of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF)

• FY 2018-19 Primary Care Fund (PCF) application with timeline and important dates
• No Show Surveys:The Accountable Care Collaborative (ACC) Program Improvement Provider & Community Issues (P&CI) Subcommittee is gathering data statewide in response to ongoing concerns about the medical, operational and financial impact of No Show appointments on practices and on patients.  The appointed workgroup hopes to obtain an accurate snapshot of the current No Show issue in Colorado and provide recommendations to the ACC Program Improvement Advisory Committee to address this issue.
  
  There are two surveys: one for practice sites and one for members (in both English and Spanish). The provider survey was developed and reviewed by primary care providers and other P&CI subcommittee members, and the member survey was reviewed and piloted by the Department of Health Care Policy & Financing’s Member Experience Advisory Council.
  
  All surveys are anonymous and will not impact any practice or member in any way.  Practices who wish to identify and share policies will be able to do so, but specific practices will not be reported in the outcomes.
  
  On February 16^th, the workgroup will begin tabulating responses and report back to the Provider & Community Issues Subcommittee meeting in March with observations and recommendations. These will be available in the meeting documents and minutes. More information about the ACC Program Improvement Advisory Committee and Subcommittees can be found here.
