Culture of Data 2010 Registration
CHI is conducting
geographic information systems (GIS) technical workshops in communities around Colorado. Check back for additional dates and locations for these hands-on sessions that take attendees through the basics of GIS to create layered maps of health and population data.
CHI's legislative luncheon presented real-time data about Coloradans on a regional basis from the recently completed 2008-09 Colorado Household Survey (COHS), funded by The Colorado Trust with a grant to the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing. Colorado policymakers in attendance learned a great deal about the health insurance and employment status of Coloradans, how those two factors relate to each other and how insurance coverage affects one’s access to health care.
Part of CHI’s health policy roundtables for legislators, this presentation looks at the big issues Colorado should be concerned about with regard to the health professions workforce and data on the current and projected future status of that workforce.
Part 3 in a series of 4 roundtables for legislators, this roundtable focused on long-term care and how it gets factored into the health care reform agenda.
