Electronic Long-Term Services and Supports (eLTSS) Pilot - State of Colorado Health Care Policy and Financing

The eLTSS (Electronic Long-Term Services and Supports) pilots will facilitate the development of basic elements for eventual inclusion in electronic standards. These standards will enable the creation, exchange and re-use of interoperable service plans by beneficiaries, community-based long-term services and supports providers, payers, health care providers and the individuals they serve. Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) is a recipient of the Testing Experience and Functional Tool (TEFT) planning grant. Their team includes: HCPF, Colorado Regional Health Information Organization (CORHIO) and Quality Health Network (QHN). HCPF administers Medicaid, Child Health Plan Plus, and other health care programs for Coloradans who qualify. Colorado's health information exchange (HIE) network is on the front range connecting hospitals, labs, physicians, emergency services, behavioral health, skilled nursing, home health, hospice and QHN is the health information exchange on the western slope and is also Colorado's first HIE.
