Request for Qualifications:
Health Equity Data Project Manager
|
|
|
The Colorado Trust is seeking responses to a request for qualifications (RFQ) for a Project Manager for the pilot phase of the Health Equity Data & Storytelling Platform Project. This project is a statewide web-based platform, uniquely complemented with human-center technical assistance, that would bring to life stories of residents in communities experiencing inequities, provide compelling data to contextualize and describe those experiences, and serve as a vehicle for sharing examples of progress and innovation that could inspire change.
|
|
The project manager will be responsible for all project management and oversight as detailed in the RFQ, and will take a key stewardship role in helping to ensure the community engagement and ownership of the platform. Please click here to download the full RFQ for more details. Applications are due by 12 p.m. MST on March 13, 2019.

Perhaps the shiniest pearl of conventional wisdom in health economics is that patients with private insurance pay more at the hospital to make up for discounted or free care provided to people with public insurance or no insurance at all. Advocates used this theory of the "cost shift" to push for Medicaid expansion nationally and in Colorado over the past decade.
Now a draft report from Colorado's Medicaid agency makes a stunning claim: The cost shift is a myth. Today, the Colorado Health Institute examines that report in a new policy brief. Click here for the report.
