Colorado Health Facilities Interactive Going Live

To: All providers:

From: HFEMSD

The Health Facilities and EMS Division are pleased to announce that after 2 years of planning and effort, the Colorado Health Facilities Interactive (COHFI) state facility licensing system is nearing completion.

The "go live" date for this transition is February 3, 2020. This actually completes phase 1 of the system's development and over time, additional capabilities and features will be added. Over the coming weeks the division will be communicating details regarding the transition to the new system, and what to expect regarding Licensing, Plans of Correction, Flu Vaccination reporting and Occurrence reporting. We recognize this is a significant change to our regulated community and as with most software system changes of this nature, COHFI will likely have some bugs as it comes on-line. However, the division is confident that we can work through any glitches with everyone's support and open communication. It is extremely important that any system issues that your facility may encounter be communicated to us in a timely manner.

We will be providing training materials, manuals, etc. and are planning to be as responsive as possible to assist you during the transition to the new system. Please know that this is not the final version of this system. It will evolve based on legislative, regulatory and provider community needs in the months to come. At roll-out we will have processes in place to receive your feedback on the system and will be working with our development partners to resolve issues as quickly as possible.

Be on the lookout for more specific details regarding the transition to the COHFI system. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Respectfully,

Randy
