Accountable Care Collaboratives – What is happening in Colorado?

Bringing Health Home:
Accountable Care Collaboratives – What is happening in Colorado?
Thursday, April 14, 2011
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM MDT

National healthcare reform has brought to light many debates within health care.  What can be done to cut costs and improve quality?  How can the healthcare delivery system provide greater value?  How can we better integrate and coordinate care at all levels?  Accountable Care Collaboratives are a framework within which other health care initiatives can potentially thrive, such as the medical home, health information technology, and payment reform.  This webinar will introduce folks to the ACC model, the pilots underway in the Colorado Medicaid program, and how it fits with national healthcare reform.Presenters: 

• Sarah Roberts, Director of Client Services Division, Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing
• April Abrahamson, Executive Director of Medicaid, Colorado Access (Colorado Access has been awarded three regions for Medicaid’s ACC pilot)

Space is limited. Reserve your Webinar seat now at: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/993681840
