The Hospital Transformation Program (HTP) is a new initiative that aims to improve the quality of hospital care provided to individuals enrolled in Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid program). The HTP asks hospitals to: Improve patient outcomes and experiences through enhanced care coordination Identify vulnerable patient populations and implement initiatives to improve the health of those patients Engage with community organizations to address the unique health needs of their core patient populations Lower Medicaid costs by reducing avoidable hospital care Administered by the Colorado Healthcare Affordability and Sustainability Enterprise (CHASE), a government-owned business within the state’s Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF), the program will tie a hospital’s Medicaid supplemental payments to its ability to meet certain patient-care quality targets, improve the health of priority patient populations, create meaningful community engagement and reduce costs.
