Upcoming Event to Honor Dr. Steve Poole
CCHAP will also acknowledge and recognize Dr. James Todd who has served on the CCHAP Board of Directors since its inception. Dr. Todd helped author the Medical Homes for Children legislation in Colorado, and continues to support and promote the work of CCHAP. This event will also be a time to honor other former and long-time CCHAP employees.
Also, at this first annual event, CCHAP will also recognize the medical practice and provider that most exemplifies the spirit and work that Dr. Poole championed over these many years – the first annual Dr. Steve Poole CCHAP Award.
Opportunity for Practices to Improve Patient Engagement
Marcia Carteret, CCHAP’s interculturalist and Director of Healthcare Communications, has received a grant from The Colorado Health Foundation to develop and implement a training for pediatric and family practices focused on communication strategies that improve patient engagement. The health outcomes of all patients – and especially those with cultural barriers, limited English, and low health literacy – depend on patient engagement.
A SIM Cohort 1 practice in Basalt, CO received a small grant focused on patient engagement strategies. Marcia was asked to help design a program for Dr. Kotz and his team at Mid-Valley Family Practice, and that program is now the blueprint for trainings that are available to CCHAP practices statewide. Marcia says, “I feel very fortunate to have been a awarded a significant grant to expand this work and reach more practices statewide. Patient engagement is the holy grail and we are going after it in a big way over the next two years.”

CCHAP Advisory Support Group
CCHAP has created a workgroup to identify and develop strategy around emerging challenges practices face in the shifting healthcare landscape. Timely and consistent input from a cross-section of providers and practice managers in the CCHAP network is essential to the design of top-notch support services. The active advisory workgroup will meet quarterly, but input from all practices is needed. All providers and practice managers are encouraged to contribute their suggestions by contacting CCHAP’s workgroup leaders Mindy Craig (mindy.craig@cchap.org) or Marcia Carteret (mcarteret@gmail.com)
