Our Work
The Colorado Health Institute team will make its annual pilgrimage to Coors Field this week for some fun in the stadium sun. (That sun part is aspirational.)In honor of our trip, I present a baseball-themed Our Work This Week.
If you don’t spend your days watching the legislature's committee hearings and floor votes, how can you know what health policy bills passed and failed, what trends emerged from the session and what issues are sure to return next year?
Lucky for you, CHI’s annual Legislation in Review (LIR) report explains just that.
Sure, the legislature adjourned for the year in May, but is legislative work ever truly finished? Not at CHI.
The most interesting possibility in health policy today has a really dull name. It's called a 1332 Innovation Waiver. A reference to Section 1332 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), it allows states to waive major portions of the landmark health care law starting in 2017.
In this morning’s staff meeting, CEO Michele Lueck asked each of us to share the project we’re most excited about for the upcoming summer. The resulting round robin played out like an infomercial for CHI’s Greatest Summer Hits album.
We may be short one work day, but the Colorado Health Institute has a jam-packed presentation schedule planned. But before we share where we’ll be this week, we want to present our newest team member.
A new report by the Colorado Health Institute, Speaking of Health: Spanish Speakers Lagging in Colorado, summarizes key findings on language and health from the 2013 Colorado Health Access Survey (CHAS).
A new Colorado Health Access Survey (CHAS) brief delves into how barriers to care differ across Colorado by comparing 21 Health Statistic Regions (HSRs).
Three CHI team members are spending Monday and Tuesday with the folks at the Northside Child Health Center in Montrose for the next research brief in the Colorado Health Report Card series.
Another legislative session is in the history books. It’s going to be a short entry. Maybe a sentence or two, especially when it comes to health policy.
