HB12-1052 charges the Colorado Primary Care Office, in the Prevention Services Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, with designating an Advisory Group composed of representatives of "the affected health care professions and individuals with expertise in health care workforce research, analysis and planning." Members of the Advisory Group will serve without compensation or reimbursement for actual or necessary expenses for their participation. The Advisory Group will consider, but is not limited in using, the Division of Registration's existing data fields as a structure for a robust statewide health care license data collection and reporting system including:
1. Each practice address of the health care professional;
2. The number of hours the health care professional provides direct patient care at each practice location;
3. Any specialties of the health care professional if applicable;
4. Information about each practice setting;
5. The health care professional's education and training related to his or her profession and;
6. The year of birth of the health care professional.
This link will take you to an electronic nomination form which, when completed, will transmit directly back to the Primary care Office. The Primary Care Office kindly asks for your assistance in distributing this email through your networks, clinics, facilities or contacts. You are welcome to self nominate as well. The Primary Care Office will begin reviewing completed nomination forms on June 22nd. The Advisory Committee will meet several times beginning in late July and intend to complete the work as quickly as possible and do not expect more than a few months of total effort.
