Rural Hospital Stakeholder Engagement Meetings Discontinued 

The need for separate Rural Hospital Stakeholder Engagement meetings has been periodically assessed and it has been decided to discontinue them. The rationale for this decision is that topics intended for discussion during both the rural and broader hospital engagement meetings are identical, yet questions and concerns expressed amongst providers during these meetings are not always the same. The Department believes there are potentially harmful effects to hospital representatives only attending either meeting as responses to questions and/or concerns have impacts amongst the entire hospital community. There is also efficiency gained in having a single meeting for the purposes of later review. While further rural hospital-specific meetings are not currently scheduled, the Department remains amenable to dedicated meetings to this subgroup when sufficiently justified. 

Contact Andrew Abalos at Andrew.Abalos@state.co.us for more information on the discontinuing of the Rural Hospital Stakeholder Engagement meetings. Contact Jonathan Rempfer at Jonathan.Rempfer@state.co.us with any questions or topics to be discussed at future meetings. Advanced notice will provide the Rates team the opportunity to bring additional Department personnel to the meetings to address different concerns.
