Hospital Transformation Program

Page Updated: Jan. 12, 2023

CHA Advocacy Principle: Support member hospitals and health systems in the transition to value.

What Has Been Completed:

Origin: The Hospital Transformation Program (HTP) is a five-year quality improvement program that ties provider fee-funded hospital payments to hospital-based incentives.

Background: Hospitals participating in HTP must complete Community and Health Neighborhood Engagement (CHNE) and reporting on metrics. Hospitals are in year one of this program and began reporting in the summer of 2022.

Outstanding Items:

CHA continues to work directly with HCPF on tracking and roll-out of changes to the Emergency Department (ED) Alternatives to Opioids (ALTO) program measure to ensure quality is measured based on clinically sound judgement.
