Data Sharing with State Unit on Aging (SUA)
Client: The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF)
Mission worked with Colorado HCPF to increase information sharing between the State Unit on Aging (SUA) and Case Management Agencies (CMAs). Through this project, Mission and HCPF hoped to improve individuals’ access to Medicaid services and the care they need. To help HCPF bridge the gap between services provided through the SUA and those provided by Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers, Mission worked with various stakeholders to understand data capacity, data availability, and any barriers to sharing data. Mission conducted an environmental scan and other research on data sharing, culminating in a Best Practices Research Report, a Systems Analysis Report, and Interagency Referral Process Report.
