26. Quality improvement initiatives A multi-faceted approach to promote clinical quality improvement 1)Expand use of quality metrics and use of quality data 2)Quality improvement and patient safety 3)Care coordination and health services delivery reforms 4)Quality improvement reforms across all payers, private insurers, Medicare and Medicaid 26

27. Care coordination initiatives Grants to promote community health teams to support patient-centered medical homes Grants to develop medication management programs for chronic disease patients Grants to facilitate shared decision-making in treatment planning between patients, caregivers and clinicians Demonstration programs for community patient navigator programs 27

28. Improving access to health care services Reauthorizes/increases federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) grants to $11 billion (FY2011-FY2015) Review of criteria for designating medically underserved areas/populations (MUAs/MUPs) and health professions shortage areas (HPSAs) Authorizes a grant program for the development and operation of school-based health centers 28

30. So, what are the challenges and opportunities for fulfilling the Promise?? Be diligent in ensuring the coverage expansions and subsidies occur in a way that is equitable, inclusive and promotes the dignity and individual responsibility of all Coloradans – Can we work as a state to de-couple Medicaid from welfare? – Can we ensure that all individuals subject to the individual mandate get the information they need to make responsible decisions? 30
