Purpose
The Colorado Hospital Affordability and Sustainability Enterprise (CHASE) includes a provision to establish Hospital Quality Incentive Payments (HQIP) funded by healthcare affordability and sustainability fees to improve the quality of care provided in Colorado Hospitals. At the request of the CHASE Board, the HQIP subcommittee recommends the approach for quality incentive payments.
The HQIP subcommittee is tasked to:
- Adopt measures that can be prospectively set to allow time for planning and successful implementation;
- Identify measures and methodologies that apply to care provided to Health First Colorado members;
- Adhere to Value-Based Purchasing principles;
- Maximize participation in Health First Colorado; and
- Minimize the number of hospitals which would not qualify for selected measures.
