WHAT is Colorado SIM & WHY is it important?
The Colorado State Innovation Model (SIM) touches nearly every aspect of our health system, setting the stage for a sweeping transformation that will help us accelerate our progress toward the Triple Aim of lower costs, better care and improved population health. Central to transforming the Colorado health system is the integration of behavioral health and primary care.
