Community Engagement Opportunities: Health IT Roadmap Refresh
Over the past three years, Colorado’s 2021 Health IT Roadmap has guided the transformation of the state’s Health IT landscape. The Office of eHealth Innovation (OeHI), the State-Designated Entity for health information technology (health IT) strategy, policy, and funding coordination, has made great strides in advancing the goals outlined in the 2021 Roadmap. In 2024, OeHI is working to update the Health IT Roadmap by working with the Colorado community to capture current and future health IT needs from a policy, infrastructure, and governance perspective. Colorado’s updated Health IT Roadmap will continue to focus on a coordinated technology landscape, digital tools and services, and opportunities to leverage different funding streams and policies to support equitable use of health IT, enabling inclusion and equitable access to data and information for all people in Colorado. OeHI will use a variety of outreach strategies to hear from the Colorado community, including funding organizations to host listening sessions with their staff or members of their community to uncover the biggest health IT challenges and needs.
Funding for Listening Sessions
OeHI will fund up to 25 safety net and community-based organizations to host listening sessions to help gather input. Funding these organizations is a way to put resources into critical community institutions while also ensuring that participating staff and Coloradans feel comfortable and have the ability to provide input, as these organizations understand their community's cultural and language needs.
Please complete the form linked below by May 13, 2024 if you'd like to be considered for a maximum of $10,000.00 to host a listening session prior to June 30, 2024.
Organizations will be chosen for funding based on their location within the state, the communities they serve, and accommodations provided to participants in the listening session.
Organizations can use the table below to determine whether this project is a good fit for their needs prior to submitting an application. Applicants will be asked to make selections from the list below to determine their budget (organizations will have a maximum budget of $10,000 total):

January 2024 Report: Recommendations to Support the Data Landscape of Colorado’s Local Public Health Agencies
To better understand local public health agencies’ (LPHAs’) data strategies, needs, and gaps, stakeholder interviews were conducted with 19 LPHAs from across the state. Participating LPHAs were representative in terms of geography and population size, and included representation from frontier, rural, and urban counties.
Using the interview findings, OeHI and CDPHE identified action steps that the State can pursue to improve the data sharing landscape for LPHAs in Colorado. Our recommendations center around equity, data governance, and engagement.
This work was completed in partnership with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Colorado Community Managed Care Network (CCMCN), and Colorado Association of Local Public Health Officials (CALPHO).
