Informing Strategy. Advancing Health. Search Mobile Menu OUR SKILLS The Colorado Health Institute team brings the skills and experience to execute your project. We are grounded in solid research and data, and we work closely with clients to identify meaningful actions they can take to improve health and well-being for the people who depend on them. Data, Research, and Analysis Reliable data, research, and analysis is the basis of all our work. We know where to find information and how to make sense of it. Whether it’s census data, insurance claims databases, or obscure specialized research, we are a one-stop shop for all the health data and analysis you need. Sample Projects: Colorado Health Access Survey | Telemedicine in Colorado | Colorado's Unmet Demand for Specialty Care Contact: Emily Johnson, Director of Policy Analysis Strategic Planning There’s a world of difference between a good idea and a strategy. CHI can help bridge that gap. We understand the policy landscape in Colorado and the varied needs of its residents, and we have helped organizations large and small set their course for a healthier future — and then implement their strategies. Sample Projects: Statewide Substance Use Recovery Plan | Strategic Plan for Primary Prevention Contact: Michele Lueck, President and CEO Outcomes-Based Facilitation CHI excels at helping diverse, multisector groups reach agreement about substantive issues. No matter the size or type of group, we make sure participants leave the room with a plan for action. Sample Projects: Metro Denver Partnership for Health | Colorado Health Observation Regional Data Source Contact: Sara Schmitt, Managing Director, Research, Evaluation, and Consulting Financial Modeling and Mapping Our quantitative analysts can build evidence-based models to project the costs and benefits of proposed programs and assign a monetary value to the work our partners do. We can map the complex public and private funding systems and identify overlaps and gaps. Sample Projects: ColoradoCare: An Independent Analysis | Medicaid residential inpatient benefit Contact: Emily Johnson, Director of Policy Analysis Program Management Whether it’s a short deadline or a multi-year initiative, CHI’s program managers know how to meet milestones without losing sight of the ultimate goal. Sample Projects: Advancing Breastfeeding in Colorado | Regional Health Connectors Contact: Ashlie Brown, Director Needs Assessment CHI analysts are adept at discovering the short-term and long-term needs of health programs and helping leaders think through their top-priority needs. We draw on the best available data and interviews or focus groups with program staff and their stakeholders. Sample Projects: Statewide Primary Prevention Needs Assessment | Identifying Opportunities for School-Based Health Care | An Analysis of Colorado's Early Childhood Mental Health Investments Contact: Sara Schmitt, Managing Director, Research, Evaluation, and Consulting Evaluation Our skilled evaluators know how to ask and answer the right questions to produce an evaluation that helps you learn, improve, scale up — and make your case to funders. Sample Projects: Colorado Health Access Fund | Colorado Co-Responder Program Contact: Jeff Bontrager, Director of Research and Evaluation Communication and Visualization Clear writing and elegant design distinguish CHI products. Our in-house graphic artists and GIS experts can turn your data into pictures worth a thousand spreadsheets. Sample Projects: Root Causes | The Affordable Care Act at 10 | Op-ed: Blame Our System, Not Public Health Workers, For COVID Failures Contact: Kristi Arellano, Managing Director of Marketing and Communications Community Health Needs Assessments State and federal regulations require health systems to assess the needs of their communities periodically, and CHI has significant experience in creating these reports. We know the relevant data for communities across Colorado, and we know how to blend the numbers with the observations of community members to create a report that helps health systems advance their work of improving health for their communities.
