Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) are among the top ten leading causes of death in the United States. Colorado recognizes the seriousness of this public health problem and passed the HAI reporting legislation in 2006. House bill 1045 requires hospitals, hospital units, ambulatory surgery centers and dialysis centers to report healthcare-associated infections using the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). This legislation created the Patient Safety Program at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment., Online resource; title from PDF caption (viewed November 2017)
Recent years have presented many significant changes and opportunities for population health. Although Colorado has had great success in protecting environmental quality and population health, not all residents have the same opportunities to reach their best health or live in the healthiest environment. This plan elevates a shared vision and shared strategies on several key issues. It focuses in two flagship priority areas: obesity and mental health/substance abuse, issues that have been identified as public health priorities in most communities across the state. It also is intended to guide efforts to address the critical issues of health care access and coverage, marijuana and public health infrastructure and capacity. The priorities and objectives outlined in this plan are intended to provide support, guidance, and focus for public health activities throughout the state. Reaching these targets requires a statewide initiative, and success is possible only through strategic and coordinated state, regional and local efforts., Includes bibliographical references., Description based on online resource; title from PDF cover; (viewed February 2015)

Please note these values (cumulative lists) are likely low considering that many small non-community systems, private and industrial systems did not reach out to government agencies for assistance or haven't assessed their damage at this time. New impacted systems appear frequently and will continue to grow for some time. In addition, detailed assessments of damage are just being undertaken and are often finding more damage than originally thought., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed August 2020)
