The Hospital Transformation Program (HTP) is a value-based program for hospitals caring for Medicaid clients.

The HTP requests that hospitals in the state of Colorado focus on the following primary goals:

  • Improve patient outcomes through care redesign and integration of care across settings
  • Improve the patient experience in the delivery system by ensuring appropriate care in appropriate settings
  • Lower Health First Colorado (Colorado’s Medicaid program) costs through reductions in avoidable hospital utilization and increased effectiveness and efficiency in care delivery
  • Accelerate hospitals’ organizational, operational, and systems readiness for value-based payment
  • Increase collaboration between hospitals and other providers, particularly Accountable Care Collaborative (ACC) participants, in data sharing and analytics and evidence-based care coordination and care transitions, integrated physical and behavioral care delivery, chronic care management, and community-based population health and disparities reduction efforts.
