My name is Joe Sekiya and I am currently working as a project manager for the State of Colorado's Department of Healthcare Policy and Financing on the Hospital Transformation Program (HTP). Under the HTP, hospitals will be required to implement quality-based initiatives to receive supplemental payments and demonstrate meaningful community engagement and improvements in health outcomes over time. The program will outline expectations for key activities and tracking measures, in order to establish statewide uniformity while providing the hospitals the flexibility to work with their communities on the best interventions and approaches. The program will serve as a glide path to transition from pay-for-process and reporting to a pay-for-performance structure.
