What is the Hospital Transformation Program (HTP)? 

  • The goal of the HTP is to improve the quality of hospital care provided to Health First Colorado (Colorado Medicaid) members by tying provider fee-funded hospital payments to quality-based initiatives.  
  • To be successful, hospitals must demonstrate meaningful community engagement and improvements in health outcomes over the five year program timeline.
  • The program seeks to: improve patient outcomes through care redesign and integration of care across settings, lower avoidable health care utilization, accelerate hospitals’ organizational, operational, improve systems readiness for value-based payment, and increase collaboration between hospitals and other providers.
