Health-Care Payment Programs

Summary

The bill creates a Hospital Quality Incentive Program that gives hospitals additional reimbursement when they meet certain quality metrics, including a new measure on workplace violence. The Colorado Healthcare Affordability and Sustainability Enterprise Board must approve the program’s payment rates, metrics, and scoring, and payments are limited to up to 7% of prior‑year reimbursements (or 9% with board approval). The program aims to improve patient outcomes and reduce preventable utilization while aligning with federal quality standards.
