After joining CIVHC last year, I made a point of pouring through all of our past grants and reports to gain as much historical knowledge as possible. I wanted to understand our roots, our challenges, our successes and the progress we've made in the few short years since our inception as an organization. The Colorado All Payer Claims Database (CO APCD) annual legislative report was one in particular that I found intriguing given the astounding progress made between the time the APCD was signed into law in 2010 through last year's 2013 recap. The 2014 annual legislative report just released is yet another reminder of how far we've come in such a short amount of time. While it's important to celebrate the accomplishments made over the past year, we continue to set our sights on where we need to take this important statewide resource to ensure it is providing the highest value possible to Colorado.
