Colorado
Colorado was an early adopter of the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model of care delivery. In 2007, Colorado passed Chapter 346 which required the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to increase the number of children served by medical homes. In 2009, Colorado launched one of the earliest multi-payer medical home pilots which ended in 2012 and resulted in many improvements both in costs and health outcomes.
In 2011, Colorado Medicaid launched the Accountable Care Collaborative with seven Regional Care Collaborative Organizations (RCCOs) to coordinate care statewide. Of these RCCOs, 18 are managed by community-based organizations that build on unique local strengths to address local needs.
Colorado continues to expand its health care reform efforts using a foundation of strong primary care and the integration of behavioral health. The CDPHE and the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) have jointly established the Colorado Medical Home Initiative to serve as a clearinghouse of information for the medical home approach in Colorado.
