Colorado Care Network

Boards

One board per domain, one row per cohort. Five launch with the founding cohort, five are forming, and fifteen have a reviewed map or roster and are waiting for a lead. Each cohort has a page, a channel and a PDF for members.

Polygenic risk score
Does this score change what we would do for this patient?

Pharmacogenomic profile
When is a pharmacogenomic result worth ordering, and how does it reach the prescription?
Actionable drug-gene results applied to current and future prescribingSeeking a lead#cohort-pharmacogenomics

CohortWho it coversStatusSlack
Advanced imaging
Which centers will run the protocol the physician asked for, read it with a subspecialist, and quote the cash price before the patient arrives?
Specialized MRI protocols, cardiac MRI, nuclear and vascular imagingLaunch#cohort-advanced-imaging
Procedural studies
Who will do the physiologic study the care map calls for, with the measurement the anchor physician actually asked for, read by someone who knows what the question was, at a price the patient saw in advance?
Echo, CPET, electrophysiology, PFTs, EMG and NCS, autonomic and tilt testing, skin and muscle biopsyForming#cohort-procedural-studies
Esoteric assays
Which lab runs the send-out test, at a published cash price, and how fast does the result come back?
Biochemical genetics, specialty immunology, endocrine and autoimmune testing, sequencing and reanalysis labsSeeking a lead#cohort-esoteric-assays
Clinical expertise
Who will take a hard case from an anchor physician, on a cash basis, and answer the question asked?

How to read a care map

Every care map fills the same seven roles across three years. The anchor is the primary care physician who owns the plan. Genetics covers diagnosis, interpretation, reanalysis and cascade testing. Specialists, diagnostics and therapies come off the rosters. Behavioral health and nutrition are on every map because every map needs them. Community means patient organizations, kept independent of the network.

Every clinical claim carries a citation. Where the citation is a guideline rather than a trial, the map says so. Where guidelines disagree, the map shows the range, not one number.

Want to lead one?

The fifteen cohorts seeking a lead each need a member to own the map: run the cohort's journal club, revise the draft, keep the roster honest. Tell us which one.
