You are invited to participate in the CDPHE 1294 Stakeholder Forum.
House Bill 1294 Stakeholder Forum offers an opportunity to promote dialogue and transparency on issues that matter to all licensed healthcare facilities. According to C.R.S 25-3-113, the Stakeholder Forum consists of representatives from various types of provider facilities licensed by the Department along with consumers, consumer advocates, ombudsmen, and other interested parties who meet at least four times each year. The purpose is for the Department to discuss and take into consideration the concerns and issues of interest to the forum members and other attendees regarding the development and implementation of rules and other matters that affect all licensed health-care facilities.
At this meeting, the Department will be presenting rulemaking proposals with regard to the way healthcare licensure fees are assessed. As a result of HB24-1417, setting fees for healthcare facility licensure is moved from an annual rule-making process to an automatic process set forth in statute. The result will be multiple changes in rule language across almost every health facility chapter in 6 CCR 1011-1. In addition, the meeting will continue with the “tune-up” of 6 CCR 1011-1, Chapter 2 - General Licensure Standards. The main topic of this meeting will be the revision of Chapter 2, Licensing Process, definitions, and the introduction of the “No Surprises Act” alignment.
To foster robust discussion related to general updates to Chapter 2, 1294 meetings will occur monthly from October through March on the first Thursday of the month. Meeting durations will be extended to 2.5 hours for these additional meetings. After March 2025, meetings will return to their normal quarterly schedule.
DATES:
Meetings will be held monthly, generally on the first Thursday of the month. The next meeting is Thursday, February 6, 2025, at 1-3:30 pm. Please note that this meeting is 2.5 hours long to accommodate discussion of fees.
