Safety Net Advisory Committee Discusses the Future of the Accountable Care Collaborative

“The Colorado Health Institute's Safety Net Advisory Committee (SNAC) dedicated its final two learning labs of 2015 to studying planned changes for the Medicaid Accountable Care Collaborative (ACC). CHI wants to help people prepare to contribute to the debate over the new ACC in 2016. The two most recent editions of Food for Thought provide a recap of the SNAC Lab discussions. Read the October edition and the November edition, or visit CHI's SNAC Lab page for even more background.

In October's meeting, the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) presented an overview of its plans for the next version of the ACC. The presentation sparked a spirited discussion about the role of public health and oral health in the ACC. In November, evaluators from the Colorado School of Public Health shared early results from their study of the ACC, and HCPF officials returned for more discussion.” [Source: CHI]
