Children's Buy In Program Stakeholder Engagement Opportunity | |
|
The Health First Colorado Buy-In Program for Children with Disabilities allows families of children with a disability who qualify to 'buy into' Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid Program) for that child. If your child and/or your family earn too much for Health First Colorado or Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+) your child may qualify. If your child does qualify, you may pay a monthly premium to be in the program. We base your monthly premium on your family's income.
Buy-In members, stakeholders, and partners are invited to attend this meeting to learn about upcoming eligibility policy changes to the Children's Buy-In Program.
When: May 13, 2024, at 10 a.m.

Join us for our next session: Compassion Fatigue
Compassion fatigue impacts a wide range of professions and caregivers. It is most common among professionals who work in a healing or helping capacity. People who listen to the stories of fear, pain and suffering of others may feel similar fear, pain and suffering because they care. Join us for a webinar where we will discuss how to define and identify compassion fatigue and steps you can take to mitigate the experience.

ARPA 5.04 Care-Case Management Best Practices Project Update | |
|
HCPF has contracted with John Snow Research & Training Institute, Inc. (JSI) to conduct a stakeholder-informed process improvement initiative to improve communication, collaboration and coordination for members receiving long-term services and supports (LTSS) who are assigned to an RAE and a Case Management Agency (CMA).
After identifying best practices to improve coordination, communication and collaboration between the RAEs, CMAs and HCPF, JSI outlined the roles, responsibilities and core competencies needed to implement and sustain the best practices. Over the past month, JSI has engaged CMA and RAE stakeholders through a survey to assess what type and level of training would be helpful to successfully implement and maintain the best practices.
Here are preliminary results from the survey:
- Number of Respondents: 14
- The preferred format for training: Live Webinar/Live Training
- Top four areas where respondents indicated training would be most helpful:
- Documenting formal processes for communication/collaboration
- Creating and executing memorandum of understanding (MOUs) and data agreements
- Documenting standard workflows
- Utilizing shared workspace
Over the upcoming months, JSI will work to create training materials to support the implementation of the best practices as well as provide hands-on implementation support to the CMAs, RAEs and HCPF. Please watch for future updates on the project.
