Once complete, this will be the largest state government automated information system in Colorado. This has been a long process, but both departments continue to work with the Office of State Planning and Budgeting, the Information Management Commission, the JBC and counties to accomplish our goal. The department is deeply involved in protecting the assets of the state through an aggressive fraud and abuse program. There are also several monetary recovery programs aimed at returning misdirected funds to the state. Since last spring, I have seen employees hold fundraisers for Colorado charities of their choice.
HCPF staff are star players on the state team.
Looking ahead, I see many possibilities for Year 2000 and beyond. Colorado can be a national leader in improving access to health care services for low-income citizens. We have a very knowledgeable and professionally dedicated staff that produces an extraordinary team effort.
