Ambulatory Health Promotion
Office of Value Based Performance
Ambulatory Health Promotion (AHP) is a collaboration between the University of Colorado School of Medicine Office of Value Based Performance and the Division of General Internal Medicine. AHP conducts population health outreach to patients seen at University of Colorado Anschutz and CU Medicine primary care clinics.
We provide population-level and patient-individualized services to improve the receipt of preventive screenings and to improve chronic disease management for patients cared for at University of Colorado Anschutz and CU Medicine. We don’t let patients fall through the cracks! We have expertise in the design and evaluation of quality and process improvement interventions, and we have the expertise to implement interventions within our scope. In addition to our outreach programs, we also partner with researchers to help design and implement interventions. We’ve partnered on research projects focused on advanced care planning, dementia care, nicotine cessation, and enhancing the fitness of older patients.
AHP activities:
- Outreach to patients who are not up to date on guideline recommended preventive care services and chronic disease management processes
- Perform initial hospital and emergency department discharge follow-up
- Partner on quality improvement projects and provide subject matter expertise in developing and evaluating new quality improvement programs
- House the Ambulatory Nicotine Cessation Program which provides nicotine cessation outreach services at no cost to patients
