Colorado’s Health Information Technology Roadmap Refresh Project Update

We want to hear from YOU! 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.

There are several upcoming opportunities to provide input, collaborate, and learn about this refreshed strategy. Please join us online, or in person! More information in the Governor’s Office press release, and additional details below:
