Colorado Grant Programs

Our Quality Improvement team can assist you with participating in Colorado grant opportunities to improve health information exchange and quality reporting for your practice.

Facilitating Alcohol Screening and Treatment (FAST)

FAST is a 9-month facilitated quality improvement program to address unhealthy alcohol use in patients. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has funded Colorado efforts to help primary care practices increase screening and response to patients’ unhealthy alcohol use.

Participating practices will receive evidence-based interventions to help patients with unhealthy alcohol use, training for staff, medical providers and behavioral health professionals on Screening, Brief Intervention, Medication Assisted Treatment, and, when necessary Referral to Treatment (SBIRT plus MAT) for alcohol use and the support of a highly trained practice coach.

Medication Consistency

Under the Colorado Medication Consistency Project (Senate Bill 17-019), CORHIO is working with county jails to implement data exchange that allows the jail staff to access health and medication specific information. Allowing jails to connect to the health information exchange ensures inmates are treated efficiently, resulting in better health outcomes during incarceration and when inmates are transitioned back into the community.

CORHIO’s Quality Improvement team assists in PatientCare 360 implementation to improve continuity of care for inmates. CORHIO provides support during the evolving use of PatientCare 360 from intake to sick calls and discharge back into the community.
