Colorado's 2021 Health Information Technology Roadmap

Colorado is refreshing its state Health Information Technology (IT) Roadmap under the direction of the eHealth Commission and the Office of eHealth Innovation (OeHI), in partnership with the Colorado Health Institute, and your input is needed. The 2021 Roadmap will chart a path for harnessing and expanding the digital tools and services needed to advance affordability, access, and equity in health care. It will identify policies, funding strategies, and technology services that Colorado can implement over the next five years to meet the state’s most significant health IT needs and priorities. 

This is an opportunity to advance the State’s BOLD priorities and to align and collaborate with communities, patients and consumers, state agencies, and partners across Colorado to develop strategies to improve and strengthen our health and equity efforts supported by a coordinated health IT ecosystem over the next 3-5 years.

Under the leadership and guidance of the eHealth Commission, the Office of eHealth Innovation and the Colorado Health Institute have engaged with public and private partners from June 2021 to September 2021 to assess current and future needs in policy, funding, and technology, and solicit feedback on strategies for sustaining these efforts in the future. Activities included more than 50 stakeholder meetings; virtual regional learning collaborative telemedicine meetings; community meetings in Haxtun and Trinidad; two virtual listening sessions open to the public; an online survey; and the Annual Innovation Summit in September 2021. Review the Final Roadmap Draft-pending eHealth Commission Review/Approval.
